A direct experiment searching for the neutrinoless double ..beta.. decay of /sup 130/Te is described. A half-life limit equal to 1.2 x 10/sup 21/ years at the 68% confidence level is established. The leptonic charge nonconservation parameter corresponding to this limit is calculated on the basis of a two-nucleon model and found to be (3--5) x 10/sup -4/.
