The weak parity-nonconserving asymmetry in the total cross section for the scattering of longitudinally polarized neutrons from deuterons at 14.4 MeV is estimated using strong n-d scattering amplitudes from an s-wave, separable-potential Faddeev calculation. The weak force is parametrized in terms of rho, ..omega.., and ..pi.. exchange and treated perturbatively. We find that A/sub n d/ = 0.8 x 10/sup -7/ when A/sub p p/ = 2.6 x 10/sup -7/.
