The post core bounce supernova environment is the most likely candidate site for r-process nucleosynthesis to occur. However, neutrino processes affect the neutron-to-seed nucleus ratio in a manner prohibitive to r-process element production. We consider a fourth, sterile neutrino and using a reaction network analyze the effects of oscillations on the r-process in this environment. We find that heavy element production may occur for a range of mass and mixing parameters.
