Neutrinoless double beta decay has never been definitively observed, although for the last ten years one group has claimed to see a 6-sigma positive effect in 76Ge. Recently the EXO-200 experiment produced the first independent check on this claim using 136Xe. This talk will report on the double beta decay results from EXO-200 and other experiments, along with prospects for future progress in this field.
