Abstract

A review is presented on the U.S.-Japanese Cooperative Seminar entitled "Thermodynamics and Phase Relations of Nuclear Materials", held at Ames Laboratory, U.S. AEC, Iowa State University, July 9-12, 1973. Summary proceedings of the seminar and a comprehensive description of the topics discussed are reported.On the total of 7 sessions held, 2 sessions, in which 6 papers were presented, were devoted primarily to theoretical and experimental methods including Engel-Brewer's theory, vaporization studies, heat capacity measurements and electromotive force measurements.The 5 other sessions, in which 14 papers were presented, dealt with the phase relations and the thermodynamic properties of various materials, as well as the thermodynamics of fused salts and liquid metal solutions.
