%X In the interior of stars most atoms are ionized, but the electrostatic potential of a bare nucleus induces a spherically symmetric polarization of the surrounding electrons and nuclei. The effect of this screening charge cloud on the rate of thermonuclear reactions is investigated for the case of complete ionization of all atoms.
