The possibility of a new set of thermonuclear loss-cone instabilities is demonstrated. These instabilities are caused by an anisotropy in the alpha-particle distribution function which arises because of alpha-particle losses due to the toroidal field ripple in tokamaks. The conditions for the excitation of a number of instabilities are studied.
