The excitation function for the fission of 230Th induced by neutrons has an unusual maximum for neutron energies in the vicinity of 700 KeV. It has been suggested that this maximum may be associated with the vibrational-mode resonance states. The unusual peak in the excitation function is interpreted in terms of a vibrational-mode resonance state in a two-humpted fission barrier. From theoretical fits to the fission cross sections and angular distributions, it is shown that the resonance has K ＝ 1/2.``
