By using the color confinement potential which includes the color scre
ening effect, we studied the baryon spectra and the nucleon-nucleon in
teraction. The results show that the color screening effect not only i
mproves the baryon spectrum calculation, but also can solve the long-t
ail problem of the color Van der Waals force. A part of the medium att
raction of the nuclear force can be obtained from the color Van der Wa
als force.
