We study pumping of charge in a 2DEG in the quantum Hall regime
at filling factor 
(2 spin-split levels of the lowest
Landau level). For pumping frequencies that match the Zeeman
energy splitting, quantum pumping together with hyperfine
interaction between electrons and nuclei induces transitions
between the spin-split levels. These lead to a step-like change
in the pumped current and to polarization of the nuclei. We
present quantitative predictions for both. Our model provides the
first quantitative tool to both control and measure the amount of
local nuclear polarization in a 2DEG.
