  By performing global fits to inverse beta decay (IBD) yield measurements from
existing neutrino experiments based at highly $^{235}$U enriched reactor cores
and conventional low-enriched cores, we explore current direct bounds on
neutrino production by the sub-dominant fission isotope $^{241}$Pu. For this
nuclide, we determine an IBD yield of $\sigma_{241}$ = 8.16 $\pm$ 3.47
cm$^2$/fission, a value (135 $\pm$ 58)% that of current beta conversion models.
This constraint is shown to derive from the non-linear relationship between
burn-in of $^{241}$Pu and $^{239}$Pu in conventional reactor fuel. By
considering new hypothetical neutrino measurements at high-enriched,
low-enriched, mixed-oxide, and fast reactor facilities, we investigate the
feasible limits of future knowledge of IBD yields for $^{235}$U, $^{238}$U,
$^{239}$Pu, $^{241}$Pu, and $^{240}$Pu. We find that the first direct
measurement of the $^{240}$Pu IBD yield can be performed at plutonium-burning
fast reactors, while a suite of correlated measurements at multiple reactor
types can achieve precision in direct $^{238}$U, $^{239}$Pu, and $^{241}$Pu
yield knowledge that meets or exceeds that of current theoretical predictions.
