Calculation of the cross-section for the process of double-electron capture by a bare nucleus with emission of a single photon is presented. The double-electron capture is evaluated within the framework of quantum electrodynamics. The line-profile approach is employed. Since the radiative double-electron capture is governed by the electron correlation, corrections to the interelectron interaction were calculated with high accuracy, partly to all orders of the perturbation theory.
