  Gravitational waves are tiny disturbances in space-time and are a
fundamental, although not yet directly confirmed, prediction of General
Relativity. Rapidly rotating neutron stars are one of the possible sources of
gravitational radiation dependent upon pulsar's rotational frequency, details
of the equation of state of stellar matter, and distance to detector. Applying
an equation of state with symmetry energy constrained by recent nuclear
laboratory data, we set an upper limit on the strain-amplitude of gravitational
waves emitted by rapidly rotating neutron stars.
