Hydrogen and Helium are burned explosively in novae and X-ray bursts via the rp- and αp-processes. These consist of sequences of (p,γ) and (α,p) reactions on radioactive isotopes near the proton drip line. These reactions rapidly generate energy while synthesizing heavy elements. Knowledge of the charged-particle reaction rates on, and the structure of, radioactive nuclei along the proton dripline is vital to understand these explosive events. The high-quality beams of radioactive nuclei anticipated at the Rare Isotope Accelerator (RIA) will provide excellent opportunities for groundbreaking studies of these astrophysical explosions. The nuclear physics information needed for explosion studies will be discussed, along with examples of typical capture, scattering, transfer, and fusion evaporation reaction measurements that could be carried out at RIA. The desired properties of recoil separators, targets, and detector systems for these measurements will also be discussed.
