Abstract
Redistribution of the components in U-Zr and U-Pu-Zr alloys occurs under a steep temperature gradient. The phenomenon was analysed as a thermal diffusion process accompanying phase separation. A unique combination of thermodynamic and transport properties was found to be responsible for the pronounced demixing of these alloys under thermal gradient.
