Accurate neutron emission probability distributions (P_v) associated with spontaneous and induced fission are necessary in correcting for neutron multiplication in neutron coincidence counting. A reanalysis of previously published P_v distributions is presented as well as recent measurements. All data were obtained using a large liquid scintillator tank.
