Abstract
Difficulties associated with the determination of the nuclear potential at distances inside the fusion barrier radius are discussed. The critical distance model analysis of fusion excitation functions at high bombarding energies does not give a model independent measurement of the internuclear potential at small separations of interacting heavy nuclei.
