Nuclear physics experiments were instrumental in establishing the elements of the weak interaction that are incorporated into the Standard Model. After decades of scrutiny there are now substantial indications that require important Standard Model revisions. Nuclear physics continues to play a key role. I will discuss some new results and some of the key discoveries that may be just around the corner.
