This report describes progress in four HEDL programs supported by ERDA's Division of Magnetic Fusion Energy. They are (A) Irradiation Effects Analysis, (B) Mechanical Performance of MFE Materials, (C) Preparation and Presentation of Design Data, and (D) Lithium Spill Studies. (A) Results are given on (1) the sensitivity of simulated atomic replacement sequences to the interatomic potential, (2) the status of the program plan under preparation by the Damage Analysis and Fundamental Studies Task Group, and (3) preliminary comparisons of measured helium production at 14 MeV and in a fission spectrum with that calculated from ENDF/B-IV cross sections. (B) A description is given of the development of a thin fatigue specimen for use with light-charged particle irradiations. (C) The current status of the Nuclear Systems Materials Handbook is described; initial distribution has been made of Volume 3 entitled ''Materials and Processes: Selection and Control.'' (D) Preliminary conclusions are given of a lithium hazard literature review. The scope of a program on lithium spill safety is briefly described.
