  Superdeformed nuclei in the 190 mass region exhibit a striking universality
in their decay-out profiles. We show that this universality can be explained in
the two-level model of superdeformed decay as related to a strong separation of
energy scales: a higher scale related to the nuclear interactions, and a lower
scale caused by electromagnetic decay. Furthermore, we present the results of
the two-level model for all decays for which sufficient data are known,
including statistical extraction of the matrix element for tunneling through
the potential barrier.
