The nuclear effects in {rho}{sup 0}-meson neutrino production are investigated using the data obtained with the SKAT bubble chamber. The nuclear-medium influence on the {rho}{sup 0} total yield and inclusive distributions on z = E{sub {rho}/}v and Feynman x{sub F} variable is found to be approximately the same as for pions. It is shown that these distributions with increasing A tend to shift toward smaller values of z and x{sub F}, thus indicating an increasing role of secondary intranuclear interactions. The predictions of a simple model incorporating the latter are found to be in qualitative agreement with experimental data.
