By using the technique of correlating implanted evaporation residues and their subsequent fission decay, -delayed fission (DF) of Bi has been identified for the first time and DF of Bi has been unambiguously confirmed. The experiments were performed at the velocity filter SHIP (GSI, Darmstadt). The DF probabilities for both nuclides were qualitatively estimated, and, in particular indications for a large value in the case of Bi are regarded.
