Abstract: (Elsevier)

The deformation energies for fissioning nuclei in the actinide region are calculated using the Strutinsky shell-correction method. Instability of the second barriers against an asymmetric shape degree of freedom is found in agreement with Möller and Nilsson. The inclusion of these asymmetric deformations improves the agreement between calculated and experimental barrier heights. The asymmetries found have the correct magnitude in order to explain the experimental mass ratios of the fission fragments.
