Abstract
Observations employing the Cl‐Ar technique find only one‐fourth the neutrino flux from the Sun at the earth expected on the basis of standard solar models and the rates of the nuclear reactions which fuse hydrogen into helium as measured in terrestrial laboratories. The current situation concerning nuclear reaction rates is discussed. It is concluded that the Ga‐Ge techniques which will detect the model and reaction rate independent flux of p p‐neutrinos from the Sun should be put into full‐scale operation as soon as possible. Other techniques which will probably require a National Underground Science Facility are discussed briefly.
