The relative cumulative yields of 19 light mass fragments or rubidium, strontium, yttrium, zirconium. molybdenum, and ruthenium formed in the thermal neutron fission of Pu/sup 239/ have been determined with a mass spectrometer using the isotope dilution technique. The yields of the fission product isotopes of these elements, together with the previously published relative yields of three krypton isotopes, have made possible the determination of the absolute yields of 22 light fragment mass chains.
