Fission cross-section measurements were made with the RINS system in the neutron energy range from {approximately} 0.1 eV to 80 keV on samples of {sup 247}Cm, {sup 250}Cf, and {sup 254}Es. The {sup 247}Cm measurement was undertaken to complete the RINS fission cross-section measurement sequence of the curium isotopes, {sup 254}Es was measured because it is a very heavy odd-odd nucleus that might show interesting nuclear structure effects in its fission cross section, and {sup 250}Cf was measured to account for its buildup as a daughter product from the 276-day half-life {sup 254}Es.
