Thermodynamic measurement and modeling of (UC/sub 1-x O/sub x)

Description

Measurements were made of (CO) pressure over (UC/sub 1-x/O/sub x/) at 1823, 1773, 1673, 1573, and 1473 K for various values of x, in the presence of (UC186). The data were used to model (UC/sub 1-x/O/sub x/) as a solid solution of (UC) and (UO), where deltaG/sup xs/ is represented by an expansion in two terms, the first of which is temperature-dependent. The model allows for the accurate prediction of chemical activities and phase equilibria in regions also containing (UC186), (UO/sub 2-y/), (UC186)-(UO2), and (UO/sub 2-y/)-(U)
