Abstract
The Short-Lived Fission Product Yield (SLFPY) project is one of many efforts in the NA22 F2016 Venture Project. The objective of the SLFPY project is to provide improved measurements of fission product yields for select nuclides. The measured fission product yields are needed for various areas of applied and fundamental nuclear science. Data exists for fission product yields on fissioning of 235U, 238U, and 239Pu with fission spectrum neutrons. This report summarizes the experimental setup, analysis, and results of the 239Pu fission product yields.
