Abstract The yields of the long-range α-particles (LRA) in the thermal neutron induced fission 0f233U,235U, and239Pu have been determined relative to the corresponding binary fiassion yield. The measurements were performed with surface harrier detectors on a thermalized reactor beam. We obtained for233U,235U and239Pu binary-to-LRA ratios the values 485±20 respectively 615±20, 475±20. Some of the discrepancies between the published data were explained and experimental indications for235U(n, α)- and239Pu(n, α)-reactions are present. Finally the LRA-yield was correlated with some other fission characteristics.
