Thermodynamic characterization of the U3O8−zz phase

Development of CAP process for fabrication of ThO2–UO2 fuels Part I: Fabrication and densification behaviour

“…The decomposition of added U 3 O 8 produces a network of fine pores [21,32]. This results in an increase in the total surface area in the sample which helps in enhancing the sintering [33][34][35][36].…”

Volatilization of urania under strongly oxidizing conditions

“…A number of transpiration experiments have been performed in 1 atmosphere oxygen by a number of investigators [7][8][9][10][11][12] and all gave almost identical results. There are at least two factors favorable to account for the good reproducibility.…”

Characterization and densification studies on ThO2–UO2 pellets derived from ThO2 and U3O8 powders

“…Ackermann and Chang [60] observed that increasing the temperature at constant oxygen (0.21 atm) pressure allowed U 3 O 8 to become non-stoichiometric (U 3 O 8Àz ). The maximum temperature for stoichiometry at 0.21 atm of O 2 is determined to be 600°C, in agreement with Cordfunke and Aling [61] and Rodriguez et al [62].…”
