Abstract	Using nuclear track detectors in the uranium blanket of electronuclear assembly partial fission integrals have been measured. The merit of this method lies in the fact that uranium fission integrals are determined in every points of measurement as well as in whole volume of blanket. In addition, not only measurement of neutron spectra \Phi(E_n) but also without going into details of excitation functions: \sigma_f^5(E_n) and \sigma_f^8(E_n) in wide range of energies, without recourse to group averaged cross sections are not required. The method was tested in the experiment on uranium blanket of electronuclear assembly "Energy plus transmutation" calorimetry at 1.5 GeV beam from synchrophasotron (JINR).
