In this paper we investigate the effect of quark exchange upon the nuclear binding energy to leading order in the density of spin-isospin-symmetric nuclear matter. A simple Gaussian model for the quarks in a nucleon is assumed, together with a potential arising from onegluon exchange between quarks. This model, as well as variants of it, have been used by numerous authors in a long series of investigations into the nucleon-nucleon short-range interaction and deuteron properties. The problem of a large nucleus is clearly much more complicated; not only is there a vastly greater number of combinations by which quarks can be exchanged, but also one is faced by certain naive divergences in the limit of large A. To address this issue, a systematic scheme for quark counting, together with elimination of the divergences, was developed in Ref. 3. We shall make essential use of that formalism in this Brief Report. The model. We take the usual nonrelativistic quark model wave function as an input. A nucleon with center of mass at R is described by oscillator confining potential which mocks up long-range QCD effects, and V is the quark-quark potential arising from one-gluon exchange yOGE yhyp+ yCoul+ ycont IJ IJ /J IJ
