Abstract
Three new, independent projects that provide detailed predictions of n ucleosynthesis yields (up to Z = 36) from massive stars are examined a nd compared. The general agreement is surprisingly good. Preliminary c omparison with abundance data, especially for elemental abundances in extreme Population II stars, is promising. Implications of these compa risons and critical uncertainties are discussed.
