Fission cross-section ratio measurements were made in the 2- to 3-MeV region using /sup 235/U samples with /sup 234/U and /sup 236/U samples containing approximately 10% /sup 235/U. Atom ratios were obtained from measured thermal fission ratios and the isotopic analysis and also by alpha counting. Shape measurements were made from threshold to 10 MeV using pure samples and were normalized in the 2- to 3-MeV region. The present values for the /sup 234/U : /sup 235/U ratio are up to 5% greater than those previously reported. The results for /sup 236/U generally agree with those in the literature except for the values reported by Stein et al., which are also lower.
