Nuclear fission reactions induced by the electromagnetic field of relativistic nuclei are studied for energies relevant to present and future relativistic heavy-ion accelerators. Cross sections are calculated for ²³⁸U and ²³⁹Pu fission induced by ¹²C, ²⁸Si, ¹⁹⁷Au, and ²³⁸U projectiles. It is found that some of the cross sections can exceed 10 b.
