Radiochemical studies of products of uranium fission by 660-Mev protons indicated a pattern of residual nuclear products with regularities in their formation. The total cross section for proton fission is 0.4 x 10/sup -//sup 2// sup 4/ cm/sup 2/; the yield of neutron saturated isotopes is comparatively high. The isotopes of maximum yield are located in the proximity of the nuclear stability line. The magnitude SIGMA n/ SIGMA f = 2.3 indicates considerable proton emission during U spallation; probably contributed by product fission and by a large fragmentation cross section. The influence of the fission process on spallation product yield is analyzed. (R.V.J.)
