Recent data for the most probable total kinetic energy release in fission 〈EK〉, have been combined with earlier results in order to reevaluate the systematic dependence of these values on the Coulomb parameter Z²A1/3. A least-squares analysis of the current data base yields 〈EK〉=0.1189Z²A1/3+7.3 MeV, where Z²A1/3 refers to the fissioning nucleus. This expression exhibits a somewhat steeper slope than previous fits.
