By performing global fits to inverse beta-decay (IBD) yield measurements from existing neutrino experiments based at highly $^{235}\mathrm{U}$-enriched reactor cores and conventional low-enriched cores, we explore current direct bounds on neutrino production by the subdominant fission isotope $^{241}\mathrm{Pu}$. For this nuclide, we determine an IBD yield of ${\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{241}=8.16\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}3.47\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{cm}}^{2}/\mathrm{fission}$, …
