The Karlsruhe 800 l liquid scintillator detector and 3 MV pulsed Van de Graaff were used to measure the shape vs. neutron energy of the /sup 238/U capture yield relative to a gold capture sample and relative to /sup 235/U fission. The resulting cross section shape computed from the gold capture cross section is consistent with that computed from a recent evaluation of the /sup 235/U fission cross section. Below 100 keV a significant intermediate structure is observed which corresponds to that in recent ORNL data. 1 figure, 2 tables. (auth)
