Abstract
An analysis of the total energies of the fragment pairs from fission is used with the mass equation of fission to estimate the distributions in the excitation energy of the fragments from spontaneous and neutron-induced fission of several nuclides. These excitations are used with simple neutron boil-off considerations to calculate the probabilities of emission of 0, 1, 2, 3... prompt neutrons. The calculated results are in good agreement with recent measurements.Keywords
