Abstract
It is shown that when a large nuclear system is in equilibrium there is a minimum in the Gibbs surface energy σ μ but not generally in the droplet-model surface energy σ e. Attempts to minimize σ e result in the non-conservation of neutrons and protons. Nevertheless, σ e can be calculated from the density distributions that result from the minimization of σ μ.
