Continuing fission cross section ratio studies at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, preliminary results have been determined for the /sup 244/Pu//sup 235/U fission cross section ratio from 0.2 to 30 MeV. Using the threshold method, the value 0.980 +- 0.021 has been obtained for the average cross section ratio in the interval from 1.75 to 4.00 MeV.
