The maximum operating characteristics that can be achieved with the use of UO/sub 2/ as a reactor fuel are being investigated. Fuel assemblies are being fabricated for measurement of fission gas pressure in UO/sub 2/-filled fuel rods. A pressurized-water loop in GETR is being designed. A heat transfer burnout study is in progress to establish the upper limit of heat flux for studies of central melting in a fuel rod and fuel-cladding interactions. (M.C.G.)
