Uranium and thorium monosulffde bodies were made by the reaction of H/ sub 2/S with the metal at low temperatures followed by homogenization and sintering at high temperatures. Some US-- ThS solid solutions also were made. The effect of homogenization and firing temperature, S/metal ratio, impurities, and atmosphere on the densification, structure, and properties of these bodies is discussed. The properties evaluated include melting point, electrical resistivity, thermal conductivity, thermal expansion, hardness, strength, oxidation behavior, and compatibility. (auth)
