Calphad thermodynamic description of some binary systems involving U

Within the framework of a complex Calphad thermodynamic database for the 4th generation nuclear fuels, called Fuelbase, the description of different binary systems involving U are obtained. For most of the systems considered, only limited experimental work is available, often without any thermodynamic data. Assumptions as simple as possible were made in order to derive descriptions showing a reasonable agreement with experimental data and which allow to extrapolate in complex systems.
