  Using data of the Baksan Underground Scintillation Telescope (BUST) we have
made a search for muon neutrinos and antineutrinos with energies above 1 GeV
coinciding with the gravitational wave event GW170817 that was recorded on
August 17, 2017 by the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo observatories. This is
a first detection of the new type of events occurring as a result of a merger
of two neutron stars in a binary system. A short gamma-ray burst GRB170817A
accompanying this event is an evidence of particle acceleration in the source
whose precise position was determined by detection of the subsequent optical
signal. No neutrino signals were found with the BUST in the interval $\pm 500$
s around the moment of the gravitational wave event GW170817, as well as during
the next 14 days. The upper limits on integral fluxes of muon neutrino and
antineutrino from the source are derived.
