The charge-plunger technique has been modified to study also short-lived fission isomers in even-even nuclei. Using the reaction 238U(d,pn) a quadrupole moment of 29 ± 3 b was determined for the 200-ns isomer in 238U, corresponding to a deformation of c / a=1.8±0.1 in terms of the axis ratio of a spheroid.
