The spectra of mesic x-ray photons emitted by mu -mesic atoms of uranium and lead are studied with the aid of a scintillation spectrometer. It is shown that the 2P yields 1S radiative transition rate per stopped muon is appreciably smaller in mesic uranium than in lead. Thus it is experimentally demonstrated that there exists a hitherto unobserved nonradiative transition mechanism in which the transition energy is transferred directly to the nucleus. (auth)
