Nuclear depolarization of a hydrogen gas internal target may be induced by an intense pulsed beam. Resonance conditions are given for the nuclear spin-flip transitions. Calculations are performed for a guiding field such that resonances are avoided. Taking the electron beam characteristics of HERA and assuming up to 100 bunches of 1000 gauss maximum intensity, the average depolarization is about 0.5%. A full Monte Carlo simulation of depolarization in a storage cell is also in preparation and some preliminary results are presented.
