The cold support concept for the ARIES TF coil design was developed further. This concept not only works for aspect ratio 6 and 4.5 machines, but it also works for ITER. Beryllium was added to the two blanket concepts to improve energy multiplication and reduce COE. During the quarter a US-Japan steering committee meeting was held to discuss the US-Japan ICRH tube tests. They reviewed and approved the proposed X2242 ICRH tube improvements. Ed Cheng attended IAEA meeting on the International Fusion Evaluated Nuclear Data Library (FENDL). The first version of FENDL should be ready for use by mid-1990. Exposure of 12 well-characterized graphite tiles in the divertor region of DIII-D continues. Work has been initiated on the laser ellipsometry technique to be used for in situ on-line measurement of erosion and redeposition in the DIII-D divertor. A Neutron Interaction materials (NIM) report has been drafted compiling published and unpublished data on manganese-stabilized austenitic steels. These steels are being considered for the ITER.
