Radiochemical measurements of cross sections for 173 nuclides produced in the reaction of 538-MeV /sup 56/Fe ions with thick /sup 238/U targets were performed, and the mass-yield curve was determined. Seven components were resolved, corresponding to three reaction mechanisms: (1) quasielastic transfer (810 +- 160 mb); (2) quasifission (350 +- 55 mb); (3) fusion-fission (190 +- 30 mb). Comparison with data from other systems indicates that the fusion-fission cross section for heavy targets depends strongly on projectile mass and target- to projectile-mass ratio.
