Thermal motion of the flux lines (FL) gives rise to fluctuating magnetic fields. These dynamic fields couple to the nuclei in the sample and relax the nuclear spins. Based on a model of harmonic fluctuations, we provide a theoretical description of the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation (NSLR) process due to the fluctuating FLs in clean type-II superconductors. At low fields, the calculated longitudinal relaxation rate $T_1^{-1}$ is enormously enhanced at temperatures just below $T_c$. At intermediate fields, the resulting $T_1^{-1}$ exhibits a peak structure as a function of temperature, which is eventually suppressed as the field is increased. The vibrational modes which have components propagating along the FLs play an essential role in the $T_1^{-1}$ process.
