Abstract
We examine the effect of First Forbidden (FF) decays on $\beta$-decay neutrino spectra by performing microscopic nuclear structure calculations. By analyzing the FF decay branches of even-even nuclei we conclude that FF decays may be responsible for part of the missing neutrinos in the so called "Reactor Neutrino Anomaly". Further calculations and more experimental data are needed for a firm conclusion.
