A search of the literature to obtain information concerning enriched UO/ sub 2/-- stainless-steel dispersion type fuel elements has disclosed five programs which have pertinent information. The primary aim of the search was to discover maximum burn-ups and temperatures for safe use of this type of element. Tests were labeled a failure if swelling, cracking or fission-product release resulted from the irradiation. Moderate swelling or blisters without the other indications was called a slight failure since funther irradiation or higher temperature would undoubtedly cause complete failure. (auth
