OSTI ID:4242618
The average number ( nu ) of neutrons emitted in the spontaneous fission of Pu/sup 240/ has been measured, by a method depending upon the device of counting only those neutrons which are detected immediately after the occurrence of a fission. In this way the effect of neutrons from sources other than spontaneous fission is entirely eliminated. The value found for nu is 2.84 plus or minus 0.26 neutrons per fission. (auth)
