The fast proton-induced fission of 238U has been analyzed from the threshold up to 40 MeV. Fission observables and isotope production were analyzed using TALYS and our own programs. Fission process was described by Brosa model. In the fast proton interaction, residual nuclei by mean of different (p,p’), (p,xn), (p,xp), (p,xα) (x=1,2,…,n) and other processes are formed. In the case of 238U, residual nuclei can also fission, contributing to the investigated observables and isotope production. Comparing theoretical results and experimental data from literature, parameters of the optical potential, fission barrier and type of nucleus deformation were extracted. Cross sections and isotope yields obtained in neutron-induced fission process were compared with proton case and with EXFOR data.
