We calculate the asymmetries in parity-nonconserving deuteron photodisintegration due to circularly polarized photons 
with the photon laboratory energy ranging from the threshold up to 10MeV and the radiative capture of thermal polarized neutrons by protons 
. We use the leading-order electromagnetic Hamiltonian neglecting the smaller nuclear exchange currents. Comparative calculations are done by using the Reid93 and Argonne v18 potentials for the strong interaction and the DDH and FCDH “best” values for the weak couplings in a weak one-meson exchange potential. A weak NΔ transition potential is used to incorporate also the Δ(1232) -isobar excitation in the coupled-channels formalism.
