Measurements were made on a simulated fuel element to determine what effect partial occlusions, normal to the cross section, have on the end-to-end electric resistance of the element. Calculations based on the results show that it is probably feasible to use electric resistance as an indicator of crack occurrence. (J.R.D.)
