Abstract
We apply the generator coordinate method (GCM) in a fully microscopic calculation of the E2 decay lifetime of the isomeric states of U-238, Th-230 and Th-232. The basis states have been generated by constrained HFBCS calculations with the potential SkM. Triaxial quadrupole defor mations have been included. Comparison is made with experiment in the case of U-238 and experimenters are urged to search for the predicted decays in the thorium isotopes.
