Recent measurements of relative yields for 95Zr, I25Sb, 137Cs, 14lCe, 144Ce, and I35Eu for fast-neutron fission of samples enriched in the actinides 243,244,246,248Cm have been combined with a simple mass-distribution model to predict complete mass distributions for fast-neutron fission of each of these four curium actinides. Complete descriptions of the data analysis and of the model and its application and limitations are given.
