QCD AND NUCLEAR-PHYSICS

Upon a brief explanation of what nuclear physics and QCD is all about, I would like to discuss how the imminent future of nuclear physics hi nges on progresses in QCD. In addition, I wish to describe my recent w ork that a closed set of coupled differential equations for nonlocal c ondensates in QCD (which characterize the nontrivial feature of the QC D ground state or vacuum) may be derived in the large N-c limit (with N-c the number of color). As a specific example, the leading-order equ ations for the nonlocal condensates appearing in the quark propagator are derived and explicit solutions are obtained.
