Abstract
We discuss the possibility of producing superheavy elements in the astrophysical r-process. Thus, we consider a detailed calculation of fission-barrier heights and neutron separation energies for heavy neutron-rich nuclei. The dependence of the neutron-induced fission cutoff of the r-process on the uncertainty in the nuclear models is discussed in some detail.
