We measured the fusion-fission excitation functions for the {sup 32}S+{sup 181}Ta reaction and the {sup 38}S+{sup 181}Ta reaction. (The radioactive {sup 38}S beam was produced by projectile fragmentation.) The thresholds were measured to be 137.5{plus_minus}1.0 and 130.7{plus_minus}2.0 MeV for the {sup 32}S and {sup 38}S-induced reactions, respectively. This result agrees with the systematics of fusion excitation functions and may be significant in the synthesis of new heavy nuclei. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
