Prompt-fission-neutron multiplicities were measured at a 'white' neutron source for the fission of 238U and 235U up to 200 MeV. The data are of great importance in the connection of accelerator-coupled nuclear-reactor systems incinerating actinides, with uranium considered as a prototype actinide. We report that the fission induced by 200-MeV neutrons produces {approx_equal}10 more prompt neutrons than the fission induced by reactor neutrons.
