The fission cross sections of 246Cm, 247Cm, and 248Cm isotopes measured with an SVZ-100 spectrometer, based on neutron moderation in lead, at the Institute of Nuclear Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences are analyzed. The area of the resolved resonances is calculated, and their neutron and fission widths are determined. The results are compared with existing data and recommended evaluations.
