Abstract
The validity of the Pauli exclusion principle for nucleons has been investigated. The mean life against -shell nucleons in falling into the fully occupied shell has been shown to be > 6 × sec (99.7% confidence limit). A limit has also been obtained for the relative amplitude of symmetric components in the wave functions of nucleons.
