Many-body calculation of nuclear spin-dependent parity-nonconserving amplitude for 7s,F=4⃗7s,F=5 transition between hyperfine sublevels of the ground state of 211Fr is carried out. The final result is 7s,F=5||dPNC||7s,F=4=-0.49×10-10iκa.u., where κ is the dimensionless coupling constant. This is approximately an order of magnitude larger than similar amplitude in Cs. The dominant contribution to κ is associated with the anapole moment of the nucleus.
