The multiplicity and energy of the prompt neutrons emitted from the fission fragments for 239 Pu(nth, f) were measured as functions of the fragment mass and total kinetic energy. The results were compared with those for 233 U(nth, f) and with the predicted values by the multi-channel fission theory with the random neck rupture model.The measured and predicted values of the neutron multiplicity, (v)(m*), show the saw-tooth trend and agree with each other. The total neutron multiplicity decreases linearly with increasing total kinetic energy resulting in -d(TKE)/d(vt 0 t)=16.5±0.4MeV/neutron. The slope of the neutron multiplicity vs. the total kinetic energy, -d(v) / d(T KE), was plotted against the fragment mass. Its shape agrees with that for 233 U(nth, f).The average neutron emission energy, (rJ)(m*), follows a bell shape about the symmetric fission accompanying higher values for very asymmetric fissions and agrees with that for 233 U(nth, f). The total excitation energy (TXE)(m*) was determined by two manners: (1) neutron data and (2) Qmax-(TKE). Both results satisfactorily agree with each other as the case of 233 U(nth, f), and thereby the present derivation of (TKE) from the neutron data is confirned.
