The fission cross sections of 232Th, 233U, 234U, 235U, 236U, 237Np, 238U, 239Pu, 240Pu, 241Pu, and 242Pu from 1 keV to 10 MeV published up to July, 1965, were analyzed previously to select best fission cross sections for fast-reactor analysis. Since the completion of that work, new data have been produced which necessitate reevaluation of the fission cross sections particularly in the region 1 to 5 MeV. The revised data presented here are believed to be of greater consistency and, hence, accuracy than the previous selection.
