Right-handed neutrinos with a large Majorana mass occur naturally in the left-right-symmetric model. We explore the prospect of such a heavy right-handed neutrino search via [ital W][sub [ital R]] decay in the like-sign dilepton channel at the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) and CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The standard model background can be effectively eliminated by suitable lepton [ital p][sub [ital T]] and isolation cuts without affecting the signal cross section seriously. In this way it seems possible to explore the bulk of the parameter space 0[lt][ital M][sub [ital N][ital R]][lt][ital M][sub [ital W][ital R]], with [ital M][sub [ital W][ital R]] going up to 3000 (2000) GeV at energies reached at the SSC (LHC).
