Progress is reported in research on mechanical properties of reactor materials. Topics covered include: deformation and fabrication characteristics of reactor materials, tension experiments on ultrapure tantalum, prestrain experiments and surface observations on tantalum crystals, stored-energy-release spectra in deformed iron and copper, calorimeter techniques for measuring stored- energy release, theory of alpha dislocation-relaxation peak in coldworked niobium single crystals, amplitude-dependent internal friction and its connection with dislocation-relaxation oscillations, and isostructural measurement of the activation energy of torsional creep.
