The fuel performance modeling codes PARFUME (PARticle FUel ModEl) and BISON were used to predict the release of fission products silver, cesium, and strontium from as-irradiated fuel compacts containing tristructural isotropic (TRISO) coated particles during heating tests post irradiation. The AGR-3/4 fuel compacts were irradiated as part of the third and fourth series of planned experiments to support the Advanced Gas Reactor (AGR) program. The heating tests were conducted at temperatures between 1200°C and 1700°C to simulate reactor accident conditions. The measured fission product release fractions from the heating tests were compared to modeling predictions calculated by PARFUME and BISON to evaluate how the codes compare to experimental results. Comparisons between the experimental measured fission product release fractions from silver, cesium and strontium indicate that both modeling codes overpredict the fission product release fractions demonstrating that the diffusivities used in the codes are overestimated. This results in a conservative estimate predicted by the codes when evaluating the fission product release relative to experimental data as it pertains to silver, cesium, and strontium.
