N2 - The fission fragment energy and mass distributions of the spontaneously fissioning 236, 238, 240, 242, 244pu isotopes have been studied. These characteristics are an ideal data set for the investigation of shell effects and fission channels under identical conditions, i.e. constant Z, Iπ = 0+ and zero excitation energy. The important variations observed in the distributions are discussed in terms of the scission point model (Wilkins et al.) as well as in terms of the fission channel model with random neck-rupture (Brosa et al.).
