  A very general saddle point nuclear shape may be found as a solution of an
integro-differential equation without giving apriori any shape parametrization.
By introducing phenomenological shell corrections one obtains minima of
deformation energy for binary fission of parent nuclei at a finite (non-zero)
mass asymmetry. Results are presented for reflection asymmetric saddle point
shapes of thorium and uranium even-mass isotopes with A=226-238 and A=230-238
respectively.
