Constitutional Studies on Carbide Nuclear Fuels for Fast Breeder Reactors. III.--The Uranium--Barium--Carbon Ternary System at 1400 deg C, With Observations on the

Cf. preceding abstracts. The ternary system U--Ba--C has been examined at 1400 deg C and the solid-state compatibility lines established. No compound formation was found to occur and solubility effects were found to be minimal. A tentative examination of compositions in the U--Sr--C system indicates that it is of a similar form to that of the U--Ba--C system.7 refs.--AA
