Abstract
The prompt neutron emission multiplicity distributions and average values ( P ν and 〈 ν 〉 , respectively) for nuclei which decay via spontaneous fission have been reevaluated. In the cases of 236Pu and 238Pu, inconsistencies were found in the recommended values for P ν and 〈 ν 〉 that were given in the most recent compilation of neutron emission multiplicity distributions from the fission of uranium and transuranium nuclides. In correcting for these inconsistencies, the values of 〈 ν 〉 for 236Pu and 238Pu have now been revised to 2.07 ± 0.13 and 2.19 ± 0.07 , respectively. The corresponding neutron emission probabilities for these two nuclei have also been revised in order to take into account the new recommended 〈 ν 〉 values.
