Calculations have been made on the probability of a massive neutrino decaying to a pair of W bosons and then electron in a steady external magnetic field. The exact wave functions for the electron and a W boson in a magnetic field are used. An expression is obtained for the decay probability as a function of the electron's polarization. The asymptotes of this expression are considered.
