During EXOSAT observations of 4U/MXB 1636-53 in August 1985, 3 bursts were observed in 6 h, and 24 bursts in 79 h of uninterrupted observing. The persistent X-ray flux varied by a factor of 2.4, the burst intervals by a factor of 24 (from 35 min to 14 hr), and the integrated burst fluxes (the burst fluences), and burst peak fluxes both by a factor of 6. Globally, the burst fluence is approximately linearly proportional to the interval (and to the integrated persistent flux) since the preceding brust, the three bursts with the longest intervals which exhibit photospheric radius expansion are excluded. If in these cases a major fraction (up to 2/3) of the thermonuclear flash energy is consumed in mass ejection, the approximate linear relation would hold over the whole range of observed intervals if the burst fluences are corrected for this lost energy.
