In the framework of he ESO Large Program ``First Stars'', high resolution (R=45000) high S/N ratio spectra have been obtained for a sample of Extremely Metal Poor Stars (EMP stars), 35 giants and 18 turnoff stars. Among them 37 have a very low metallicity: [Fe/H]< -2.9.

Aims: LTE abundances of light elements in extremely metal-poor (EMP) stars have been previously derived from high quality spectra. New derivations, free from the NLTE effects, will better constrain the models of the Galactic chemical evolution and the yields of the very first supernovae. Methods: The NLTE profiles of the magnesium and...
