The P-odd asymmetry in the escape of light (heavy) U/sup 233/ fission fragments by neutrons relative to the direction of their polarization is investigated. The asymmetry coefficient for the group of light fission fragments is a = 4.83 +- 0.38 x 10/sup -4/. In first approximation the asymmetry is independent of the mass of the fission fragments.
