One of the most important quantities in the field of nuclear safety is the power developed by the decaying fission products. The average beta-ray energy has been measured by a direct method for important fission products. For other nuclides, the average beta-ray energy has been determined using experimental data from a study of beta strength functions. In cases for which no experimental data exist, the average energy has been derived using extrapolated beta strength functions. 24 refs.
