Fission cross section calculations of actinides with EMPIRE code

Theoretical calculations of neutron induced reactions on (233),(234),(236)U, (237)Np, (238-242)Pu, (241,243)Am, (242-246)Cm carried out in the energy range 1 keV - 20 MeV with EMPIRE code are presented, with emphasis on the fission channel. Beside a consistent, accurate set of calculations, the paper contains arguments supporting the choice of the reaction models and input parameters. A special attention is paid to the fission model parameters and their uncertainties.
