A lower limit on the transition lifetime of 5.8×10<sup>30</sup> s at 90% C.L. was set by looking for a peak at 10.6 keV resulting from the X-ray and Auger electrons present following the transition. A similar analysis was done to look for the decay of atomic K-shell electrons into neutrinos, resulting in a lower limit of 6.8×10<sup>30</sup> s at 90% C.L. Finally, it is estimated that the Majorana Demonstrator, a 44 kg array of p-type point contact detectors that will search for the neutrinoless double-beta decay of <sup>76</sup>Ge, could improve upon these exclusion limits by an order of magnitude after three years of operation.
