This paper reviews the present status of coordinated European research and development programs where the main emphasis is on the behavior of mixed uranium-plutonium-oxide fuel pins for high burnup application. Only a smaller part is devoted to the ongoing development of mixed uranium-plutonium-nitride fuels.
