Abstract
Fission fragment angular momenta in thermal neutron induced fission of241Pu have been deduced for the first time from radiochemically determined independent isomeric yield ratios of the corresponding fission products131, 133Te and132I. The values obtained are 5.8±1.1 ħ, 5.95±1.2 ħ and 8.85±0.65 ħ for131, 133Te and132I, resp. The present data along with the literature data are discussed in the light of influence of fragment nuclear structure, such as the presence of odd proton in the fragment and spherical and/or deformed neutron shell configuration.
