We analyse the Fermi energy of an electron gas in a strong magnetic field, taking into account the quantum effects and discuss the effect of the field on the screening potential of the nucleus and hence calculate the effect on several important thermonuclear reactions. The results show that, a sufficiently strong field will greatly increase the screening potential when the density is low, but for densities in excess of 105 mol cm-3 and for fields in the range of 105 ~ 109T, such as are present on the surface of neutron stars, the effect of the field on nuclear reactions is almost nil.
