Three levels of fission product diffusional release models are solved exactly. First, the Booth model for a homogeneous uncoated spherical fuel particle is presented and an improved implementation is suggested. Second, the release from a fuel particle with a single barrier layer is derived as a simple alternative to account for a coating layer. Third, the general case of release from a multicoated fuel particle is derived and applied to a TRISO-coated fuel. Previous approaches required approximate numerical solutions for the case of an arbitrary number of coatings with arbitrary diffusivities and arbitrary coating interface conditions
