Helium burning reactlon rates are calculated with experimental information at temperatures in the ranges 1 to 2 x 10⁸ and 3 to 6 x 10⁸ deg K. A fresh supply of helium at the higher range of temperatures may come from certain heavy-ion reactions. At lower temperature ranges Ne²⁰ production rate is found to be too slow. (auth)
