F.A.Szasz has put forward the open problem 55 in [1]: Let K be the class of all subdirectly irreducible rings, whose Jacobson radical is (0). Examine the upper radical determined by the class K. In this paper, the problem has been examined. (1) It has been proved that the upper radical R determined by the class K is a special radical,which lies between Jacobson radical and Brown-McCoy radical. (2) It has been given some necessary and sufficient condition of ring A to be an R-radical ring.
