A general expression for the neutrino self-energy operator in plasmas was obtained in the limit of ultrahigh energies. Quantitative estimations were performed for the boundaries of the region kinematically allowed for the “neutrino-spin-light” process. An analysis of the additional neutrino energy in plasmas revealed that, in the cases where neutrino spin light was kinematically allowed, the processes <##> $\}{\}\stackrel{\}¯}{v}}_e+e^{-}\}\to W^{-}$$$ /bar v{sub e} + e^ - /to W^ - $$ v-bar {sub e}+e{sup −}→W{sup −} and <##> $\}{\}\stackrel{\}¯}{v}}_{\ell }+v_{\ell }\}\to Z$$$ /bar v{sub /}ell + v{sub /}ell /to Z $$ v-bar {sub ℓ}+v{sub ℓ}→Z would be dominant.
