Abstract

Activity of uranium was determined in gallium, indium and gallium-indium eutectic (21.8 wt.% In) based alloys between 573 and 1073 K employing the electromotive force method. In two-phase U-Ga-In alloys, uranium forms the intermetallic compound UGa3. Activity coefficients and solubility of uranium in Ga-In eutectic were also determined in the same temperature range. Partial thermodynamic functions of γ-U in saturated alloys with gallium, indium and Ga-In eutectic were calculated.
