Abstract

Partial molar thermodynamic quantities for oxygen in non-stoichiometric Pu and U/Pu oxides were determined by thermogravimetric measurements in CO/CO2 mixtures in the temperature range 900-1450°C. A detailed analysis of the thermodynamic data obtained, as well as data previously published for these oxides, shows that the substoichiometric phase range in the phase diagram, previously described as a grossly non-stoichiometric single phase, can be divided into several subregions each with a characteristic type of defect. The pattern of subregions found for the mixed oxides is not the same as that found for PuO2-x because of the greater stability of the mixed oxides.
