The node structure of the superconducting order parameter of the
heavy-fermion system 
is analyzed within the weak-coupling
theory. A pairing interaction induced by the exchange of
antiferromagnetic spin excitations is assumed as suggested by
recent inelastic neutron scattering experiments and tunneling
spectroscopy. The multi-sheeted Fermi surface is taken into
account. Based on a model susceptibility for the simple
antiferromagnetic structure of , line nodes result at the
rim of the magnetic Brillouin zone.
