Work on chaos in low-energy nuclear systems has continued on several fronts. The authors have completed the preparatory stage for their experiments to establish a complete level scheme in {sup 30}P, and the first data were taken in December. As an alternative approach to chaos, they are studying suggestions that the transition strengths can be used as an appropriate signature. The first studies are using shell-model calculations for {sup 22}Na; a sufficient number of B(E1) and B(M2) values have been calculated that the statistical errors are not the primary limiting factor. They will refine their analysis techniques on this set and then analyze experimental data from {sup 26}Al. Details are given in Sects. 1 and 4. They have also continued to study the possibilities of studying both detailed-balance violation and parity violation with charged-particle resonances. They have calculated expected enhancements for a large number of potentially interfering resonances; the results are described in Sects. 2 and 3. They have replaced several control systems in the TUNL High Resolution Laboratory in the past year. Both the electrostatic analyzer and the analyzing magnet are now controlled via a 80486 PC running the software package LABVIEW. General operating procedures are outlined in Sect. 5.
