The variation of v(A) data as a function of the proportion of scission neutrons has been examined for 252Cf(sf). The scission neutron proportion was varied from 0 to 25%. The results show that the v(A) variation is significant only in the region near symmetric fission. The variation of vtot(A) is smaller than that of v(A).
