Summary:In terrestrial experiments searching for neutrino magnetic moments one investigates the ionization channel in the neutrino-atom scattering. We present numerical calculations that disprove the recent theoretical claim about large enhancement of the electromagnetic-interaction contribution to the neutrino impact ionization of helium relative to the case of the neutrino scattering on free electrons.
