In the context of the proposed DUMAND-type detector for high-energy neutrinos, it is important to estimate the neutrino fluxes from powerful radio galaxies. This would indicate whether a detectable event rate can be expected, and would help choose among possible mechanisms for generating the radio lobes associated with many such galaxies. Among the models that have been proposed are: (a) a beam from the galactic core that interacts with the extragalactic medium; (b) ejection of clouds of plasma, particles, and magnetic fields into the lobes, either in an explosive burst, or by diffusive escape; (c) black holes or spinars ejected from the galactic nucleus by a gravitational slingshot mechanism.
