The electrofission cross section of [sup 182]W was measured in the range 80--180 MeV. A pronounced inflexion, corresponding to a sharp structure in the ([gamma],[ital f]) curve, shows up around 140 MeV. A photofission model, based on a photopion-deuteron reabsorption process, was worked out to explain this finding. Good agreement between calculation and experimental data was achieved.
