Throughout this paper rings are assumed to be commutative, associative, with identity, and Noetherian of prime characteristic p. For the most part we will also assume that rings are reduced. In [HH0] Hochster and Huneke introduced the notion of tight closure for ideals of a Noetherian ring of positive prime characteristic and for finitely generated algebras over a field of characteristic 0. Tight closure techniques have produced new proofs that rings of invariants of linearly reductive groups are Cohen-Macaulay (cf.[HR, Bou, HOE]), of the Brian § on-Skoda theorem on integral closures of ideals in regular rings in a strengthened form in the equicharacteristic case (cf.[BrS, HH1, LS, LT]) and various local homological conjectures (cf.[Rol-Ro4, Hol, Ho2, EvG, Du]).In [HH5] Hochster and Huneke introduced the notion of strongly F-regular rings and in [HH2] they proved that for rings which are finitely generated algebras over excellent local rings, the set of prime ideals P of R for which Rp is Gorenstein and weakly F-regular (this is equivalent to the property of being strongly F-regular) is open in the Zariski topology. The main objective of this paper is to prove an analogous result for F-rational rings. We will prove (Theorem 3.5) that the F-rational locus is open in the Zariski topology for reduced rings which are finitely generated algebras over excellent local rings. In order to prove this, we will develop a theory of strongly F-rational rings, which should be regarded as an analogue of the theory of strong F-regularity. In Section 1 we will give a characterization of this property for certain types of rings (see 1.5 for a definition of an admissible ring) in terms of their canonical modules. This
