“…Additionally, DTA experiments [7] discussed in Section 2.1, showed that no well-defined peaks were observed above 913 K. It has been pointed out in Ref. [43] that it is highly probable that the melting points of (c-Np, b-Zr) measured by Rodríguez et al [11], actually correspond to the liquid + b-Zr liquidus in the nonideal phase diagram. This comparison is found to be consistent with our phase diagram and is shown in Fig.…”
