Phase transformation in the binary section of the UO2-FeO-Fe system

Phase transformations in the oxide binary section of the UO2-FeO-Fe ternary system were studied. The melting onset point of the UO2-FeO heterogeneous system (1335±5°C) was determined and the fusion curve of this system was constructed. The limiting solubility of FeO in the UO2 solid solutionwas measured. The changes in crystal parameters in formation of the solid solutionwere determined. Uranium dioxidewas found to be insoluble in the wustitephase (FeO).
