Abstract

We present briefly some results of the ESO Large Program “First Stars"where it is shown that the abundance ratios of some light elements in theatmospheres of the extremely metal poor stars varies when the starevolves. This could be explained by a mixing with deep layers butsuch a mixing is not predicted by the theory.
