SINTERING STUDIES ON THE SYSTEM UO$sub 2$-PuO$sub 2$. PART I. SOLID SOLUTION FORMATION

OSTI ID:4247429
Solid solutions have been formed throughout the entire composition range in the system UO/sub 2/-PuO/sub 2/ by sintering at 1600 deg C in hydrogen. The single phase lattice parameters were found to vary linearly with composition, and it is evident that sintering in hydrogen does not cause reduction of plutonium dioxide to a lower oxide. Chemical dissolution tests indicate that solid solutions formed both by sintering and chemical coprecipitition enter acidic solution at nearly the same rate, and at a rate which is considenably higher than a physical mixture of the two phases.
