Cumulative fission yields for 17 fission products (16 mass chains) created by thermal-neutron fission of ²⁴¹Pu were determined from analysis of gross fission product gamma-ray spectra obtained using a large-volume Ge(Li) detector. Uncertainties assigned to nine of the measured yields are smaller than existing evaluated uncertainties.
