A Subprogram Plan related to the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Versuchsreaktor (AVR) Test Program is in place and describes cooperative work being carried out under the United States/Federal Republic of Germany (US/FRG) Implementing Agreement for Cooperation in Gas-Cooled Reactor Development. The AVR information to be provided as described in the plan will provide a basis for examining the accuracy of computational methods used for performance and safety analysis. The purpose of the cooperation is to obtain experimental information from the AVR relevant to the performance and safety of modular gas-cooled reactors, and to compare measured results with predictions of analytical tools. This report provides a progress report on the prediction of plutonium buildup in LEU fuel in a high-enriched uranium (HEU) core and also describes the method for calculating the U-238 resonance integral (cross section). 4 refs., 5 figs., 11 tabs
