The contribution of each fission fragment to the reactor antineutrino
spectra was determined using the summation method based on the existing
information on fission yields and decay data contained in nuclear databases
and the reactor evolution code MURE. The beta decay of some of the main
contributors has been studied using the Total Absorption Spectroscopy
(TAS) technique during two experimental campaigns at the IGISOL facility,
in Jyväskylä (Finland). Results on the decay of 92Rb, the most important
contributor in the 4–8 MeV energy region are reported. The status of the
analysis of the second experiment is presented as well.
