Explosive hydrogen burning in type I X-ray bursts (XRBs) comprise chargedparticle reactions creating isotopes with masses up to A~100. Since chargedparticle reactions in a stellar environment are very temperature sensitive, weuse a realistic time-dependent general relativistic and self-consistent modelof type I x-ray bursts to provide accurate values of the burst temperatures anddensities. This allows a detailed and accurate time-dependent identification ofthe reaction flow from the surface layers through the convective region and theignition region to the neutron star ocean. Using this, we determine therelative importance of specific nuclear reactions in the X-ray burst.
