Within a simplified model for the neutrino transport it is shown that the time for reaching neutrino opacity temperature of T_{opac} ~ 1 MeV is about 10 sec. This is an order of magnitude larger than without NT and of the same order as the duration long gamma ray bursts.10 pages, 6 figures, contribution to the KIAS-APCTP International Symposium in Astro-Hadron Physics, Seoul, Korea, November 11-14, 2003AstrophysicsCooling delay for protoquark stars due to neutrino trappingtext
