Abstract

Thermodynamic functions of the gaseous species, thermodynamic functions of the condensed phase, and an oxygen-potential model have been combined to calculate the vapor pressures and vapor compositions in equilibrium with condensed-phase UO/sub 2-x/ for 1500 less than or equal to T less than or equal to 6000 K and 0 less than or equal to x less than or equal to 0.5. A method for extending the oxygen-potential model of Blackburn to the liquid region has been derived and evaluated. New thermodynamic functions of the UO/sub 2/ condensed phase have been derived from the best available data, including the heat capacity recommended by Fink.
