Abstract

Twelve arguments are presented in favour of an interpretation of asymmetric nuclear fission as a two-step process. In the first step, a light cluster is formed within the nucleus from the valence nucleons of the fissioning nucleus. In the second step, the whole subshell of the208Pb core, or the major part of this subshell, is transferred to free valence states of the cluster.
