The angular distribution of fission fragments from the neutron-induced fission of several isotopes was studied. Distributions were observed for thermal neutrons on U/sup 233/ and U/sup 235/, Lady Godiva leakage neutrons on U/sup 235/ and U/sup 238, and 14 Mev neutrons on U/sup 233/, U/sup 235/, U/sup 238/, Th/sup 232/, and Np/s up 237/. No anisotropy was observed for thermal neutron fission, whereas for Lady Godiva neutrons and 14 Mev neutrons the probability of fishion along the axis of the neutron beam was determined to be higher than for fission in the orthogonal direction.
