We have simulated the helium shell flashes on an 1.3 M⊙ white dwarf and estimated the amount of mass loss. Our results may suggest a serious difficulty for the theories of the formation of Type I supernovae and of the accretion-induced formation of neutron stars because a significant amount of envelope mass is ejected during a helium shell flash.
