Abstract
An analysis aimed at finding possible neutrino radiation accompanying gamma-ray bursts in a 24-h period about them is performed on the basis of the data in the 4B BATSE Gamma-Ray Burst Catalog and data from the Baksan scintillation telescope according to a program for finding neutrinos from collapsing stars. Values significantly exceeding the background are not discovered. A lower bound for the distance to the source is established under the assumption that the anticipated radiation has characteristics similar to the characteristics of collapse neutrinos. It attests to the cosmological origin of gamma-ray bursts with a high degree of probability.
