The system of two nonrelativistic nucleons interacting with symmetric pseudoscalar mesons in considered via an expansion in terms of the meson cloud of fixed twoA Chew-Low formalism is constructed for the fixed two-onuclcon system. Matrix elements of meson field opcrators between physical states can be expressed in terms of matrix elements of spin-isospin opcrators and propagators. It is demonstrated that for a class of nonsingular propagators the latter as a function of separation of the fixed nucleons can be expanded in a convergent expansion about infinite scparation. The energies of the bound meson states arc thie static nuclear potentials, and an integral equation for them is derived. (auth)
