A procedure is outlined for estimating cross sections for neutron-induced spallation products relative to those for proton-induced reactions. When combined with known proton spallation systematics, it is demonstrated that cumulative yields for cosmogenically-important stable /sup 84/Kr and /sup 86/Kr isotopes are approx.1.4 and approx.2.8 times greater, respectively, for incident neutrons compared to protons at 0.2< or =E< or =3.0 GeV for nearby medium mass targets. Yields for lighter kryptons are relatively insensitive to the identity of the incident nucleon.
