dc.description.abstract	The EGRET experiment, onboard the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO) satellite, has provided evidence of possible ??100 MeV gamma-ray emission from ~ 22 supernova remnants through positional correlation alone. In view of the widely-held belief in the occurrence of cosmic-ray acceleration to energies of ~ 1014 eV in these remnants, we have estimated the TeV gamma-ray fluxes likely to result from these sources through the ?0 - decay and the inverse Compton processes, involving shock - accelerated relativistic protons and electrons.	en
