Abstract
Analysis of existing data on experimental fission barriers for about 90 nuclei shows that the shell correction energy practically vanishes at the barrier configuration. Statistical model calculations, with shell effects accounted for by the Ignatyuk formula, were carried out for the decay of the 248 Cf compound nucleus assuming the ground state shell corrections of Möller et al., and the vanishing shell correction energy at the barrier. The results are consistent with existing experimental data on fusion- and xn evaporation-residue cross sections in the 12 C +236 U reaction.
