The total gamma and beta energy release rates following a fission burst are reported from using ENDF/B-IV data in summation calculations. Results are given for fission at neutron spectrum energies of $sup 235$U and $sup 239$Pu between 10$sup -1$ and 7 x 10$sup 5$ s following bursts. Fallout decay power, obtained by subtractions of the gas contribution, is reported for the same interval. (auth
