The prompt-neutron-induced fission spectra of /sup 233/U, /sup 235/U, /sup 239/PU, and /sup 240/PU were measured relative to the prompt-spontaneous-fission-neutron spectrum of /sup 252/CF. analysis of the measured values indicates that the incremental average-fission-neutron energies relative to a /sup 252/CF fission-neutron spectrum of maxwellian form with an average energy of 2.13 mev are -123 + or - 30 (/sup 233/U), -157 + or - 24 (/sup 235/U), -76 + or - 29 (/sup 239/PU), and -46 + or 29 (/sup 240/PU) kev.
