Abstract
We report preliminary results of measuring the T-odd left-right asymmetry o f prompt neutron emission in binary fission of the U-233 and Pu-239 nuclei by slow polarized neutrons. Assuming that about 35% of prompt neutrons are emitted from the "neck," one can conclude that the emission asymmetry of sc ission neutrons in U-233 is an order of magnitude lower than the asymmetry of alpha -particle emission in ternary fission.
