Abstract
The approximation method, discussed in [1], of calculating the coefficients of penetration through one-dimensional potential barriers is unsuitable at small values of the energy. In the present work this insufficiency is removed by applying some additional conditions to the basic potential W(S). A new solution is given for the problem of particle penetration through a symmetric barrier.
