Cumulative fast fission product yields for 235 U and 238 U were measured at Godiva-IV in burst mode. Data was collected starting 45 minutes after the prompt irradiation. Data analysis codes were developed to analyze gammarays and calculate fission product yields with their respective uncertainties. Due to uncertainties in the branching ratios, different γ-rays from the same isotope led to different fission yield. This led to an effort at Oregon State University (OSU) to utilize the Rabbit facility at their 1 MegaWatt Training, Research, Isotopes, General Atomics (TRIGA) nuclear research reactor. The new experimental setup will allow us to measure branching ratio data and short-lived fission product yields starting seconds after a prompt irradiation.
