This paper reviews the status of experimental data and data evaluations for charged-particle reactions of interest in fusion-reactor design. In particular, the /sup 2/H(t,..cap alpha..)n, /sup 2/H(d,p)/sup 3/H, /sup 2/H(d,/sup 3/He)n, /sup 3/H(t,..cap alpha..)nn and /sup 3/He(d,p)/sup 4/He reactions at low energies are studied. Other secondary reactions are considered. The conclusion is that such cross sections are well known for the near and medium term, and that no crucial experimental lack exists. There is a serious lack of standard evaluations of these reactions, which should be in an internationally acceptable format and easily accessible. Support for generating such evaluations should be given serious consideration.
