  We update Standard Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (SBBN) calculations on the basis
of recent nuclear physics compilations (NACRE in particular), experimental and
theoretical works. By a Monte--Carlo technique, we calculate the uncertainties
on the light element yields (4He, D, 3He, 7Li) related to nuclear reactions.
The results are compared to observations that are thought to be representative
of the corresponding primordial abundances. It is found that 7Li could lead to
more stringent constraints on the baryonic density of the universe (Omega_B)
than deuterium, because of much higher observation statistics and an easier
extrapolation to primordial values. The confrontation of SBBN results with 7Li
observations is of special interest since other independent approaches have
also recently provided Omega_B.h^2 values: i) the anisotropies of the Cosmic
Microwave Background by the BOOMERANG, CBI, DASI and MAXIMA experiments and ii)
the Lyman-alpha forest at high redshift. Comparison between these results
obtained by different methods provides a test of their consistency and could
provide a better determination of the baryonic density in the universe.
However, the agreement between Omega_B.h^2 values deduced from SBBN calculation
and 7Li observation on the one hand and CMB observations on the other hand is
only marginal.
