The fission cross-section ratios /sup 240/Pu: /sup 235/U, /sup 242/Pu: /sup 235/U, and /sup 244/Pu: /sup 235/U were measured as a function of neutron energy from 0.1 to 30 MeV using ionization fission chambers, the time-of-flight technique, and the threshold method at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory 100-MeV electron linear accelerator. The measured cross-section ratios, averaged over the neutron energy interval from 1.75 to 4.00 MeV, are 1.366 +- 0.025, 1.110 +- 0.019, and 0.979 +- 0.020, respectively.
