Abstract
The influence of fluctuations of vapour concentration on the heterogen eous nucleation rate is investigated. Computer calculations based on t he Monte Carlo method show this influence to be substantial at realist ic values of non-thermodynamic fluctuations. Thermodynamic fluctuation s do not affect the nucleation rate in the model under consideration.
