Abstract

Comparison of ternary fission of the metallic cluster $\rm Na_{27}^{+++}$into equal fragments with binary fission is made by use of the Shell Correction Method. We conclude that favourable fission barriers and energy releases of that tripartition along with some dynamical properties make ternary fission a very attractive process for further investigation.
