Neutron induced fission cross sections have been obtained for 26 actinide nuclei using (/sup 3/He,df) and (/sup 3/He,tf) reactions to determine fission probabilities and then multiplying these values by calculated compound nuclear neutron reaction cross sections. Comparison with existing (n,f) data shows this to be a feasible approach for obtaining reliable estimates for (n,f) cross sections where direct measurements are not possible. Theoretical developments in interpreting fission probability measurements are discussed. 8 figures, 1 table. (auth)
