We calculate neutrino pair bremsstrahlung from nucleons in neutron-star matter via weak neutral currents. We find bremsstrahlung in neutron-neutron collisions to be unimportant, but find that the bremsstrahlung emissivity in neutron-proton collisions is of the same order as that for the modified URCA process.
