As the worlds’s first high energy polarized proton col- lider, RHIC has made significant progresses in measuring the proton spin structure in the past decade. In order to have better understanding of the contribution of u quark and d quark to the proton spin structure, collisions of high energy polarized neutron beams are required. In this paper, we discuss the perspectives of accelerating polarized light ions, like deuteron, Helium-3 and tritium. We also repre- sent simulation studies of accelerating polarized Helium-3 in RHIC.
