Abstract
The thermal properties of ThO2 and Th1-yUyO2 are critically assessed. These properties include melting point, heat capacity, enthalpy of for mation, oxygen potential, thermal conductivity and linear thermal expa nsion. The literature survey of the thermal properties of Th1-yPuyO2 s hows a limited amount of data, as a result a critical evaluation is no t possible. In addition, the phase diagrams of the binary systems ThO2 -UO2 and ThO2-PuO2 are discussed. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
