Abstract
The renormalised vacuum expectation values of massless fermion (conventionally call it neutrino) stress-energy tensor are calculated in the static spherically-symmetrical wormhole topology. Consider the case when the derivatives of metric tensor over radial distance are sufficiently small (in the scale of radius) to justify studying a few first orders of quasiclassical (WKB) expansion over derivatives. Then we find that violation of the averaged weak energy condition takes place irrespectively of the detailed form of metric. This is a necessary condition for the neutrino vacuum to be able to support the wormhole geometry. In this respect, neutrino vacuum behaves like electromagnetic one and differs from the conformal scalar vacuum which does not seem to violate energy conditions for slowly varied metric automatically, but requires self-consistent wormhole solution for this.
