Abstract
A new accurate evaluation of primordial light nuclei abundances is presente d. The proton to neutron conversion rates have been corrected to take into account radiative effects, finite nucleon mass, thermal and plasma correcti ons. The theoretical uncertainty on He-4 is so reduced to the order of 0.1 %.
