Abstract

Thermodynamic modeling has been performed for O-Am binary system and O-Pu-Am ternary system on the basis of thermodynamic data available in the literature. The interaction parameters of the excess Gibbs energies of the fluorite structure FCCC1 phase in the O-Am and the O-Pu-Am systems were evaluated with respect to the deviation from the ideal solution in oxygen potential, respectively. The thermodynamic modeling used in this study is based on the CALculation of PHAse Diagram (CALPHAD) technique.
