This movie shows the evolution of the
elemental abundances as a function of nuclear charge during the tau=0.03
second expansion. The corresponding NSE and QSE abundances are shown for
comparison. The network abundances match well the QSE abundances down to
T9 of about 2.5 when the slowing rate of proton capture prevents
the network from keeping pace with the QSE.
