In-beam γ-ray spectroscopic studies of 182Hg have revealed five new bands. The 2+ state of the prolate band has been identified at an energy of 548.6 keV and is higher than in 184Hg. A two parameter band mixing calculation results in an interaction energy of 83 keV between the prolate 2+ and the oblate 2+ states. Several additional new bands are seen including some which are interpreted as quadrupole vibrational bands built on the excited prolate minimum.
