This report gives the results of the furfuryl alcohol impregnation treatment of graphite fuel rods and end plugs done by Sigri Kohlefabrikate GmbH, Meitingen, from May 1962 till April 1964. By impregnating the components two and three times, resp. the permeability was decreased, starting from a coefficient of about 5 x 10{sup -2}cm{sup 2}sec{sup -1}, to a value of 10{sup -6} - 10{sup -7}cm{sup 2}sec{sup -1}. The rejects as occured with the first batches were finally diminished to a negligible amount by studying the single steps of treatment. (auth)
