Estimate for PNC based on available data for Finite Nuclear Size (FNS) The correction to the PNC amplitude is equal to the average of the corrections to the FNS energy shifts for S1/2 and P1/2 levels.

Conclusions • Radiative corrections to PNC in heavy atoms are large, of the order of 1%. • Similarly are large radiative corrections related to any phenomenon which manyfests itslef at small, nuclear scale, distances • Lesson: before daring to amend a major theory do your calculations right.
Thanks: • To numerous colleagues (some of them pictured) for stimulating discussions and atmosphere • Internet community, which mostly tolerates my little follies • ARC for support • Generous organisers and patient listeners of the workshop
