Conclusions Kp = 8- isomer with t1/2 = 109(6) ms observed in 252No Energy = 1.254 MeV. 2- and 8- energies are remarkably consistent across Z=94-102. Calculations with Woods-Saxon single particle energies reproduce trend in N=150 isotones as well as in 254No. ?..............¿ Evidence W.S potential no longer applicablefor Z=104 ? New Physics !
