Abstract
Calculations of the radial shape and the binding energy of giant nuclei are made, using an empirical density functional. The obtained binding energies are smaller than those obtained with extrapolations of the liquid drop model. The density distributions show a growing central depression (due to Coulomb and symmetry energy) which finally (forA>700) leads to bubble nuclei.
