Abstract One-meson exchange current effect in reaction μ − + d → 2 n + v μ is calculated by using the weak axial current operator which satisfies the nuclear continuity equation up to the order 1 M 2 ( M is the nucleon mass). In the vector part of the weak nuclear interaction the vector-isovector pion exchange currents are also included. Their contribution is found to be non-negligible. The nuclear wave functions are generated from the Paris, Reid soft-core and Bonn potential models. Our result is compatible with the previous one, obtained with only the static axial exchange currents included.
