    Let T be any set of \(q+1\) points in PG(2,q)\(=\pi\). A nucleus of T is a point P such that each line through P meets T exactly once. Let now V be any set of q points of \(\Pi\) not all collinear. For any line x of \(\Pi\) missing V we define \(R_ V(x)\) by \[ R_ V(x)=\{AB\cap x:\;A,B\in V\text{ and } A\neq B\}. \] The main results of the paper are the following: (i) Let T be a set of \(q+1\) points of \(\pi\) not all on a line. If some line \(\ell\) of \(\pi\) contains more than q/2 nuclei of T, then all nuclei lie on \(\ell\); (ii) Let S be any set of q points in \(\pi\) not all on a line. Let x be a line of \(\pi\) missing S such that \(| R_ S(x)| <q/2+1.\) Then for all other lines y of \(\pi\) missing S we have \(| R_ S(y)| =q+1\).
