We have extended the nuclear reaction network for 1 ≤ Z ≤ 10 in order to investigate the role of light neutron-rich nuclei in the r-process. We find that a new nuclear reaction flow path opens in the region of very light neutron-rich nuclei as the temperature decreases. This new reaction flow can affect the final abundances by up to a few orders of magnitude, while still producing the characteristic three r-process peaks as well as the hill of the rare-earth elements.
