The primary source of time correlated passive neutrons is the spontaneous fission of Pu, where the <sup>240</sup>Pu is usually the dominant isotope with <sup>238</sup>Pu and <sup>242</sup>Pu also contributing to a degree depending on the grade or burnup of the material. Consequently, knowledge of the <sup>240</sup>Pu spontaneous fission rate, expressed as fission per gram per second, and the associated uncertainty is key in interpreting measurement data absolutely. The <sup>240</sup>Pu spontaneous fission rate derives (and vice versa) from the <sup>240</sup>Pu spontaneous fission half-life. In this work we review and reevaluate the available experimental data on the spontaneous fission (SF) half-life of the Pu isotopes <sup>238</sup>Pu, <sup>240</sup>Pu and <sup>242</sup>Pu. The SF half-lives are used to compute the corresponding specific SF rates which are the traditional nuclear data parameters needed for analytical applications, especially the nondestructive assay of plutonium for safety, security and safeguards.</p><p>From 7 measurements we recommend a SF half-life of (4.745 ± 0.083) × 10<sup>10</sup> <em>y</em> for <sup>238</sup>Pu corresponding to a specific SF rate of (1171 ± 20) fis ⋅ s<sup>-1</sup> ⋅ g<sup>-1</sup>.</p><p>There are 16 absolute experimental determinations of <sup>240</sup>Pu half-life.
