The helium releases were investigated in FBR fuel pins irradiated to high burn-up. The released amounts of helium gas increased with the increase of burn-up, but their data were scattered in the region of high burn-up region. This was understood to be caused by the differences of $^{241}$ Am contents among fuel pellets, because this nuclide generates $^{242}$ Cm which undergoes alpha decay at a short half life.
