A possible research program for the Nuclear Physics Branch in the second half of this decade and beyond is discussed---a program which, if followed, would undoubtedly expand the boundaries of knowledge several fold; but more than that, a program that seems likely to lead to fundamentally new and exciting discoveries. The core of the discussion reviews the prospects in nine major areas: nuclei far from the region of beta stability, superheavy nuclei, fission; in-beam studies of electromagnetic properties, heavy-ion scattering, transfer reactions with heavy ions, studies with light-ion beams, ranges and stopping powers of heavy ions and atomic collisions, and fundamental interactions and symmetries. The future looks very bright in fields which could be studied with higher-energy beams, particularly of heavy ions. Then the types of beams and the energy and resolution required to carry out all aspects of the proposed programs are specified, and lead to the conclusions that a desirable accelerator would be able to produce beams of all ions from hydrogen to uranium with energies variable up to 300 MeV for hydrogen and 10 MeV/nucleon for uranium, with a resolution of 0.01%. A brief discussion is given of three possible additions to the MP Tandem that would meet all these requirements. The final chapter reviews the experimental equipment and data handling facilities that would be necessary to carry out the proposed program in an efficient manner. Much of this ancilliary equipment already exists at the MP Tandem installation. (auth)
