Abstract

Previous correlations of spontaneous fission half-lives vs $\frac{{Z}^{2}}{A}$ predict that the half-lives of even-even isotopes increase with $A$. A deviation from the above correlation is discussed, and it is shown that the spontaneous fission half-lives of the even-even isotopes go through a maximum with increasing $A$. The shorter spontaneous fission half-lives beyond the maximum may be a result of the greater deformations of the larger-$A$ nuclides. Some comments are made on fission thresholds.
