Abstract
The Thomas-Fermi model of W.D. Myers and W.J. Swiatecki (Nuclear Prope rties According to the Thomas-Fer mi Model, Lawrence Berkeley Laborato ry preprint LBL-36557, December 1994, submitted to Nucl. Phys. A; Tabl e of Nuclear Masses According to the 1994 Thomas-Fermi Model, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory preprint LBL-36803, December 1994) is generalized by the addition of a rotational energy. The results are compared with the calculations of A.J. Sierk (Phys. Rev. C33, 2039 (1986)) on the r otating Yukawa-plus-exponential model. The heights of the fission barr iers are estimated for different angular momenta in the case of the su per-deformed nuclei Dy-152 and Sr-83.
