The Rapid Proton Capture Process (rp-process) describes the sequence of responsible nuclear reactions for the thermonuclear energy generation during explosive hydrogen burning on accreting compact objects in binary stellar systems. In principle, all unstable proton-rich nuclei must be taken into account, but treating each nucleus separately makes numerical simulations which include hydrodynamics inefficient and expensive. Therefore, an accurate approximation scheme for the rp-process is highly desirable. In the present investigation we show how a general understanding of the nuclear reaction flows leads automatically to such a scheme and provides information about the reactions where experimental information from radioactive beam facilities is required.
