In the framework of the cold fissile nucleus model, the correlation coefficients of the spins of fragments of spontaneous and low-energy nuclear fission have been calculated. It has been shown that the correlation coefficient is in good agreement with the results of both experimental and theoretical works. The obtained results are in some controversy with the total spin conservation law, which is hold in the considered types of fission. Thus, the raised problem requires further analysis.
