A new evaluation has been made of the independent and cumulative yields of fission products for a selection of fissioning systems, including fission of nuclides important for reactor design and operation, and for fuel and waste management. The evaluation, which has been given the reference name UKFY3, used a new database of measurements and is considered complete up to early 1993. This database considerably extends and updates the database used for the previous UKFY2 evaluation. The measurement database was analysed to produce a “best estimate” set of fission product yields. Careful study has been made of experimental uncertainties and discrepancies in the data. As some discrepancies could not be resolved the normalised residual technique was used to down-weight discrepant values. Relative and ratio-of-ratio measurements were included in the analysis by an iterative procedure. The measured data, results of the analysis and discrepancies in the data are shown in extensive tables include
