Abstract	A project is underway to build and use a fission time projection chamber (TPC) to make high precision/accuracy measurements of neutron-induced fission cross sections to address issues in fast reactor design. A critical aspect of this program is to have thin TPC targets on thin backings with uniform deposits of the actinides. We have prepared, using vacuum deposition, 100–200 μg/cm$^{2}$ deposits of $^{232}$Th, $^{235}$U and $^{238}$U on 30–100 μg/cm$^{2}$ C backings with a measured thickness variation of <1.5%. To facilitate measurement of cross section ratios, we are preparing targets with an n-leaf clover design where each petal is a different nuclide.
