Abstract The ratios of the mean number of neutrons (ν) emitted in the fission of U233, U235 and Pu239 by thermal neutrons and by neutrons characteristic of a fission spectra have been measured. A method was employed in which the number of fission events was counted simultaneously with the number of coincidences between fragments and fission neutrons. It is found that the quantity ν increases by approximately 10% in all isotopes which were investigated.
