between the protons in the nucleus. The details of the nuclear landscape are highly influenced by the fact that the n-p interaction is slightly stronger than either the n-n or p-p reaction. Excluding consideration of the Coulomb force, nuclei with equal numbers of neutrons and pro tons are more stable since the numberof n-p interactions is maximized. Furthermore, since the n-n system is slightly unbound, infinite, or even very large: , collections of neutrons and a few protons are not stable (except p(!rhaps in neutron starts, stabilized by gravity).The extent of stable nuclei found in nature illustrates the character istics of the nuclear stability. The stable nuclei (found naturally) are represented by dark squares in Figure I, the chart of nuclides. For nuclei greater than A = 40, the Coulomb force has shifted the line of stability away from N = Z toward neutron-rich nuclei . The Coulomb force also limits the extent of the heaviest elements since the short range of the nuclear force does not provide sufficient binding in large
