Neutron-induced fission of 242 Pu was studied at the photoneutron source nELBE. The fast neutron fission cross section was determined using actinide fission chambers in a time-of-flight experiment. Whereas the absolute normalization is missing so far, a good agreement to the present nuclear data and evaluations has been achieved in the range of 100 keV to 10 MeV.
