Abstract
The estimated total chromospheric, transition region and coronal losse s for a flare observed on the eclipsing binary SZ Psc with the Interna tional Ultraviolet Explorer satellite on 6 July 1990 is of the order o f 4.5 10(36) ergs. This estimate is similar to that derived by Doyle e t al. (1989) for an ultraviolet flare on another RS CVn star, II Peg, and is a substantial fraction of the total amount that is possible to store on these stars without having to evoke the presence of kiloGauss fields.
