Predicted fission cross-section values, based on systematic trends observed recently by Behrens, are presented in the neutron energy interval from 3 to 5 MeV for 43 isotopes, ranging from thorium through californium. Comparisons with measured fission cross-section values are included for 33 isotopes.
