This document is a status report on experimental data relating to the behavior of fission product gases in HTGR fuel material. It contains (1) a review of published experimental data on the behavior of gaseous fission products (noble gases, halogens, and related elements) in HTGR fuel materials and (2) new data on fission gas behavior. From the experimental data, the effects of fission product element, fuel configuration, nuclide half-life, temperature, pressure, neutron flux, neutron fluence, and fuel hydrolysis on fission gas release are deduced. Also on the basis of the experimental data, a model is formulated for the release of fission gases from fuel rods. The data presented in this report are being confirmed and extended through continuing work at General Atomic and other laboratories.

Communicates the results of an international seminar which reviewed recent progress in the field of fission gas behaviour in light water reactor fuel and sought to improve the models used in computer codes predicting fission gas release. State-of-the-art knowledge is presented for both uranium-oxide and mixed-oxide fuels loaded in water reactors.
