A special apparatus employing a scintillation ..beta.. spectrometer has been used to measure the ratio of the electron spectra from products of the thermal-neutron fission of /sup 235/U and /sup 239/Pu. From the results of the relative measurements we have established the absolute ..beta.. spectra of the fission products of these isotopes. From the data on the spectrum of ..beta.. particles we have determined the spectrum of nu-bar/sub e/ for /sup 235/U.
