Description

The energy spectra of secondary neutrons from the neutron-induced fission of 232Th, 235U, 238U, and 239Pu nuclei are analyzed. A method for estimating the mean energy of fission neutrons that takes into account the deviation of their spectrum from the Maxwell form is proposed and applied to analysis of our own data on 232Th, 235U, and 239Pu fission induced by 1.5-MeV neutrons
