Abstract
The shift of spectral lines in the hydrogen atom and hydrogen-like ions is calculated using Born-Infeld nonlinear electrodynamics. The formulas obtained show that the position of the s levels in hydrogen-like ions and muonic atoms should be most strongly affected by the nonlinearity of electrodynamics of vacuum.
