Abstract
Question is raised concerning the validity of the Vladimirskii mechanism of fission in which the individual nucleons with large component of angular momentum in the direction of the symmetry axis give rise to instability against asymmetric deformation and thus lead to an asymmetric saddle point.Keywords
