The repulsive potential between two normal He atoms is calculated by the method of one-center expansion of molecular function. The calculation is performed at smaller internuclear distances where the discrepancies between the experiment and the existing theoretical estimations are very large. At an internuclear distance of 1.0 a.u. the present calculation gives a better result than any of the calculations hitherto performed. The implication of the result is discussed.
