The modified Urca processes are the most effective weak interactions that produce neutrinos in neutron star medium. Emissivity and mean-free path of electron neutrinos arising from the neutron branch of the modified Urca process are calculated supposing the neutron star matter is a beta stable one. The effect of strong nuclear interactions on the rate of this weak interaction is taken into account through the pair nuclear densitydependent correlation functions adapted from the lowest-order constrained variational (LOCV) method using the AV18 two-body potential.
