This document reports the technical accomplishments on the HTGR Fuel Technology Program at General Atomic during the first half of FY-81. The work covers the first reporting period in which the Fuel Technology and the Plant Technology Programs are reported separately. Previously, all tasks in these two areas were reported as the HTGR Generic Technology Program. The activities include the fuel process, fuel materials, fuel cycle, fission product transport, and core component verification testing tasks necessary to support the design and development of a steam cycle/cogeneration (SC/C) version of the HTGR with a follow-on reformer (R) version. An important effort which was initiated during this period was the preparation of input data for a long-range technology program plan.
