Effects of uncertainties of key nuclear reaction rates in the crucial nuclear processes on type I X-ray burst modeling have been reviewed/investigated. Special attention is devoted to the ignition condition of the thermonuclear flash. It is found that in the rapid proton capture process (rp-process), the ignition depends on the rates of 13N(p,γ)14O, 14O(α,p)17F, and 15O(α,γ)19Ne. On the other hand, for the pure helium flash suggested from a recent observation of X-ray bursts, we infer that the NCO-reaction plays a key role in triggering the flash.
