Nuclear and chemical problems related both to the recent scenario suggesting that the known isotopic anomalies in the solar system have resulted from a supernova near the protosolar nebula and to the model of extinct presolar carriers are evaluated. Large quantities of extinct Cm-248 and Cl-36 are predicted from the Cameron-Truran model (1977) of a minor injection about one million yr before condensation; an extinct-carrier model of Mg-26 is set forth in detail with a solid chemistry picture of the early solar system. In addition, a major thermonuclear supernova responsible for Al-26, Pu-244, and K-40 would have to have occurred several million years before condensation and contributed a large fraction of the major stable chemical elements. Carbon isotope families are to be expected if the oxygen isotope families are due to a late injection of O-16, while the earth and E meteorites may have condensed primarily in a carbon-rich nebula existing before admixtures of a major late O-16 rich mixture. The extinct-presolar-carrier model is the single best explanation of all anomalies.
