Results of phase and thermodynamic studies strongly suggest only small differences in stability for the different uranium carbides. Partial phase diagram studies are made on several U--M--C ternary systems. Studies of the U-- Zr-- C and the U--Nb--C system indicate improved physical properties and stability for (U,M)C solid solutions in some reactor fuel applications. A relatively large number of compounds of the type UMC/sub 2/ exist and may exhibit desirable properties as specific reactor fuels. For example, UMoC/sub 2/ does not hydrolyze and does not react with C to form UC/sub 2/. (auth
