We compare the experimental and calculated values of the relaxation rates ..lambda.. of the spin of a non-diffusing ..mu../sup +/ meson in copper, vanadium, and niobium in the absence of an external magnetic field. The enlargement of the interstitial pores of the crystal lattices of these metals by the localization of the ..mu../sup +/ meson in the pores is estimated. The ..lambda.. (B) dependence is investigated for weak transverse magnetic fields B.
