Promising new techniques for making quantitative measurements of plutonium require highly precise values of the gamma-ray energies and intensities for the isotopes involved. Using high isotopic purity sources and state of the art Ge(Li) detectors, we have reevaluated the energies and absolute emission probabilities of the gamma rays following the decay of /sup 237/U, /sup 238/, /sup 239/, /sup 240/, /sup 241/Pu, and /sup 241/Am.
