An application of the time correlated associated particle method to absolute induced fission cross-section measurements for /sup 252/Cf fission spectrum neutrons and 14.7-MeV neutrons is described. The errors and uncertainties of the proposed modification of the TCAPM are given. New results of absolute cross-section measurements of /sup 234/U and /sup 236/U for both /sup 252/Cf fission spectrum neutrons and 14.7-MeV neutrons as well as of /sup 235/U for 14 to 15-MeV neutrons are presented. The experimental results of cross-section measurements of /sup 233/U, /sup 238/U, /sup 237/Np, /sup 239/Pu, and /sup 242/Pu obtained earlier have been revised on the basis of more realistic calculations of neutron scattering.
