The measurement of the neutron spectrum from the White Sands Missile Range Fast Burst Reactor (FBR) in the presence of the experimenter's table is reported. A reinvestigation of this neutron spectrum was performed as a result of a recently published work, which indicates that the experimenter's table has a considerable softening effect on the neutron spectrum from the FBRF. Based on such spectral parameeters as average energy, integral fluence, and spectral index, we find the neutron spectrum associated with the experimenter's table to be essentially identical to the free-field leakage spectrum.
