The statistical model for fission cross-section evaluation is extended by the concept of multi-modality of the fission process. The three most dominant fission modes, the two asymmetric standard I (S1) and standard II (S2) modes and the symmetric superlong (SL) mode are taken into account. De-convoluted fission cross-sections for S1, S2 and SL modes for 235,238U(n, f) and 237Np(n, f), based on experimentally obtained branching ratios, were calculated for the first time in the incident neutron-energy range from 0.01 to 5.5 MeV. Good agreement was found with the experimental neutron-induced reaction cross-section data from competitive reaction channels as well. Fission-mode branching ratios were obtained over the whole incident neutron-energy range. The possibility to predict fission-fragment yield and energy distributions at neutron energies, where no experimental data exist, is demonstrated.
