Abstract
The melting behaviour of the systems MgO-PuO2-x and Al2O3-PuO2-x were studied using the CALPHAD method. According to the results of the phas e diagram calculations, the temperature at which a liquid starts to fo rm, ranges from 2341 to 2503 K for the system MgO-PuO2-x, and from 204 9 to 2183 K for the system Al2O3-PuO2-x, when the oxygen content of Pu O2-x changes from 1.61 to 2.
