Abstract

The 238U to 235U fission cross-section ratio has been measured for incident neutrons from 0.1 to 25.0 MeV. A ratio shape measurement was normalized by the threshold cross-section method. A fission cross-section ratio from 0.436 ± 0.004 was found averaged over neutron energies from 2.35 to 2.95 MeV.
