The role of angular momentum in fission has been the subject of intense recent attention. Published data showed that, while the fission fragment spins may be generated by highly correlated processes, the final, measured, fragment spins appeared to be largely uncorrelated. Advances made with the fission simulation model FREYA to study the role of angular momentum in fission are summarized. It is shown that FREYA can simulate a variety of scenarios for generating fragment spin and determine the observational consequences.
