During this period, the ARIES-I blanket design team completed the preparation of the ARIES-I reactor design final report. The helium-cooled, lithium breeder, SiC composite structure blanket option for the ARIES-II was evaluated and it was found that the corrosion resistance of the SiC in lithium is very poor. At the direction of DOE/OFE, the ARIES team was directed to defer work on the ARIES-II and to begin work immediately on the ARIES-III advanced fuel (D-{sup 3}He) tokamak design. Also, Varian EIMAC completed fabrication of two X2274 tetrode tubes and shipped them to Japan for testing on schedule. JAERI carried out …

Also, Varian EIMAC completed fabrication of two X2274 tetrode tubes and shipped them to Japan for testing on schedule. JAERI carried out the testing and both tubes operated successfully above specifications. The US and Chinese beryllium shells were shipped to Osaka University in Japan, beginning the second phase of the ``Coordinated U.S./PRC, U.S./Japan and Japan/PRC Fusion Neutron Integral Experiments.`` New fusion nuclear data experiments are being initiated for O(n,alpha) and Tc{sup 99}(n,p) cross section. Finally, the design and installation of the DiMES in-vessel components on DIII-D was completed.
