An increase in the quadrupole component of the angular distribution of the fragments was observed deep below the photofission barrier of /sup 232/Th. We discuss the influence of the symmetry of the saddle configurations in the double-hump-barrier model on the spectrum of the fission channels of even-even nuclei and the resonant structure of the cross section.
