High-vacuum, high-temperature equipment for rapid, accurate determinations of liquid-metal solution compositions is described. The solubility of uranium in bismuth was redetermined over the temperature range 300 to 725 deg C with improved precision and temperature calibration. Anomalous solubility effects in uranium-bismuthgraphite systems which could affect the operation of reactors containing graphite are described. (auth
