The authors discuss a method for measuring the cross section of the fission of curium 243 which either eliminates or corrects for the interference arising from sister isotopes or from the half-life spontaneous fission of this isotope. Soda-lime glass was used as the detector material and uranium 235 as the calibration standard. The irradiation facility is described. Error estimates are given.
