We discuss the possibility to build a neutron target for nuclear reaction studies in inverse kinematics utilizing a storage ring and radioactive ion beams. The proposed neutron target is a specially designed spallation target surrounded by a large moderator of heavy water (D2O). We present the resulting neutron spectra and their properties as a target. We discuss possible realizations at different experimental facilities.
