  This review consists of three parts: (a) what every atomic physicist needs to
know about the physics of light nuclei; (b) what nuclear physicists can do for
atomic physics; (c) what atomic physicists can do for nuclear physics. A brief
qualitative overview of the nuclear force and calculational techniques for
light nuclei will be presented, with an emphasis on debunking myths and on
recent progress in the field. Nuclear quantities that affect precise atomic
measurements will be discussed, together with their current theoretical and
experimental status. The final topic will be a discussion of those atomic
measurements that would be useful to nuclear physics, and nuclear calculations
that would improve our understanding of existing atomic data.
