Abstract: (Springer)

In this review, we survey a number of experiments over the last few decades, that specifically study the destruction of the

^7\textrm{Be}

nucleus, in search for a solution to the long standing cosmological lithium problem. The destruction of

^7\textrm{Be}

by both neutrons and charged particles are discussed. However, the reduction in the abundance of the primordial

^7\textrm{Li}

is found to be negligible and thus the lithium anomaly remains. The second lithium problem involving

^6\textrm{Li}

is still controversial. Overall, it appears that the solution to the lithium problems may not reside in nuclear physics.
