A series of high-galactic-latitude observations made with the Voyager 2 ultraviolet spectrometer are used to place stringent upper limits on the far-ultraviolet emissions from the central regions of the Coma Cluster of galaxies. In particular, consideration of the 912-1150 A region yields lower limits upon the radiative decay lifetimes of any neutrino species with masses in the range 22.1-27.8 eV, assuming massless decay products. Limits on the radiative decay lifetimes of such neutrinos are found to vary from 2.4 x 10 to the 25th to 7.1 x 10 to the 24th s, respectively, as a function of neutrino rest mass. This represents a substantial improvement over previous measurements.
