For the muonic atoms ..mu../sup 19/F/sub 9/, ..mu../sup 21/Ne/sub 10/, ..mu../sup 23/Na/sub 11/, and ..mu../sup 20/Ne/sub 10/ we have estimated the effect of parity nonconservation of muonic states of the 2s orbit. We have considered the effect of weak neutral interaction of the muon and the nucleus (the Weinberg-Salam model) and a polarization mechanism of parity nonconservation. We conclude that it is possible in principle to determine experimentally the constants of the weak neutral interaction of the muon and nucleon in the muonic atoms mentioned. A crystal of sodium fluoride is proposed as a target.
