Travel to the Kernforschungsanlage (KFA)-Juelich described in this report was for the purpose of attending the Semiannual Management Meeting of the Fuel, Fission Products, and Graphite (FFPG) Subprogram. At this meeting highlights of the cooperative exchange were reviewed for the period from May 1987 through March 1988. The subprogram continues to be effective in strengthening the development programs of both countries. Revision 13 of the FFPG Subprogram will be issued as a result of this meeting. An international workshop on high temperature fuel behavior was held at the KFA following the FFPG Subprogram Management Meeting. Workshop participants from Austria, Germany, and the United Kingdom presented their most resent results on fuel behavior based on fission product release obtained during isothermal heating tests and posttest examination of irradiated FRG fuels. The US/FRG cooperative effort on fuel performance modeling under accident conditions was presented by the traveler. The release data and modeling efforts presented at this workshop represent our present state-of-the-art knowledge on modern coated particle fuel behavior at high temperatures.
