Monte Carlo analysis of the measurements of Smith et al. of the number of fission neutrons produced per neutron absorbed, eta, for 2200 m/sec neutrons absorbed by /sup 233/U and /sup 235/U yields: eta/sub 2200//sup 233/ = 2.2993 +- 0.0082 and eta/sub 2200//sup 235/ = 2.0777 +- 0.0064. The standard deviations include Monte Carlo, cross section, and experimental uncertainties. The Monte Carlo analysis was confirmed by calculating measured quantities used by the experimentalists in determining eta/sub 2200/.
