A thermodynamic database for nuclear materials, including U-Th, U-Pu, Th-Pu, and (U, Th, Pu)-X (X = Al, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ga, Mg, Mn, Mo, Nb, Ni, Si, Ta, W, Zr) binary system has been developed by the Calculation of Phase Diagrams (CALPHAD) method. Thermodynamic parameters describing Gibbs free energies of different phases have been evaluated by optimizing experimental data on phase equilibria and thermodynamic properties. The present thermodynamic database can provide much-needed information such as stable and metastable phase equilibria, phase fractions, and various thermodynamic quantities that is important to the design of nuclear materials. This database is also an essential starting point to construct thermodynamic databases for the multicomponent systems.

“…They obtained a good agreement between theoretical and experimental results for the ground-state properties of γ-(bcc) and δ-(C32) phases of U/ Zr alloys. On the other hand, Li et al have obtained the thermodynamic assessments for thorium (Th)/ U and Th/ Zr binary and Th/ U/ Zr ternary alloys (Li et al, 2009), using the CALPHAD (calculation of phase diagrams) method based on experimental data including the phase equilibria and thermodynamic properties of the alloys. They have also obtained a good agreement between the calculated phase equilibria and experimental data.…”
