Photofission measurements have been continued at subbarrier energies. Strong intermediate resonances have been observed at an excitation energy of 6.14 MeV in /sup 232/Th. The photons were obtained from the E/sub p/ = 1020 keV resonance in /sup 34/S(P,..gamma..). Their average energy resolution was approx. 200 eV. Various properties of the observed intermediate structure were compared with theoretical predictions based on a double-humped and triple-humped barrier.
