Processes of nuclear energy generation and nucleosynthesis in stars, novae, and supernovae are reviewed and their nuclear physics requirements are identified. Exotic, unstable, proton-rich and neutron-rich nuclear species can participate in nuclear reactions in these astrophysical environments. For nuclear processes involving lighter nuclei, critical needs include a knowledge of the cross sections at low energies for a number of specific reactions for which contributions from individual levels may dominate. Mechanisms of heavy element synthesis generally involve the participation of large numbers of stable and unstable nuclear species; here, theoretical estimates of reaction rates are necessary and experimental studies which can serve to test and guide systematics are important. An outline of the methods currently employed in statistical model calculations is presented together with a brief summary of reactions for which experimental input is of critical importance.
