A nuclear model which consists of a core and of two nucleons in a shelf of angular momentum j is considered. The energy as a function of parameters BETA and gamma is found for various values of the total angular momentum of the nucleons. It is shown that if j > 3/2 the shape for minimum energy of the nucleus in the ground state is not axially symmetric. In the limit of very strong coupling of the nucleons to deformations of the nuclear surface, the equilibrium shapc of the nucleus approaches one possessing axial symmetry. (auth)
