Abstract
A search for instability of nucleons bound in nuclei is reported with 223 kg·yr exposure of in the EXO-200 experiment. Lifetime limits of and are established for nucleon decay to and , respectively. These are the most stringent to date, exceeding the prior decay limits by a factor of 9 and 7, respectively.
