We explore the role of neutrinos in a Quark Nova explosion. We studyproduction of neutrinos during this event, their propagation and theirinteractions with the surrounding quark matter and neutron-rich envelope. Weaddress relevant physical issues such as the timescale for the initial corecollapse, the total energy emitted in neutrinos and their effect on the lowdensity matter surrounding the core. We find that it is feasible that theneutrino burst can lead to significant mass ejection of the nuclear envelope.Comment: 20 pages, 5 figures (revised version- accepted for publication in ApJ
