Abstract
The possibility of accounting for nuclear saturation by means of classical neutral scalar mesons that are coupled nonlinearly to the nucleons is investigated. It is shown that the interaction energy of an aggregate of nucleons is the same as in the usual linear theory if the nucleons are regarded as point sources. The theory does not, therefore, lead to saturation.
