Measurements of neutron-induced fission cross sections for {sup 208}Pb, {sup 209}Bi, and {sup 238}U have been performed in the 70{endash}160 MeV energy region at the neutron beam facility at the The Svedberg Laboratory in Uppsala using the {sup 7}Li({ital p},{ital n}) reaction as neutron source. The fission fragments were detected by thin-film breakdown counters. The neutron flux was measured relative to the {ital n}-{ital p} scattering cross section with a proton-recoil spectrometer. The results are compared with calculations and with earlier reported experimental data. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
