Patent ·
OSTI ID:4700724

BS>An intermetallic compound of Th and Si containing substantially 66.7 at.% Si and having a hexagonal crystal structure is patented. This compound, a true BETA -phase of ThSi/sub 2/, is particularly stable in molten Bi or Bi- containing alloys, making it suitable for use as a breeding material in the form of a slurry. Methods of preparing the compound and the slurry are described. (M.P.G.)
