The main source of background for nucleon decay experiments is the interaction of atmospheric neutrinos in the detector. To estimate this background a Monte Carlo program was developed, which simulates the neutrino interactions and the nuclear effects of secondary pions. The program reproduced existing neutrino data as well as global features of the contained events in the KAMIOKA nucleon decay experiment. Neutrino induced background for nucleon decay was then calculated.
