A typical process is studied: the elec- tron emission in muon capture, which would occur if neutrinos emitted in electron and mu -capture were identical. Lower bounds of radii parameters of Fermi interactions are obtained from the actual measured ratio ( mu at the only rea e)/ ( mu at the only rea v). The implication of this ratio in the single intermediate boson Fermi interaction theories is discussed, and could be tested by the experiments of nuclei excitation by neutrinos.
