ABSTRACTA validation of the SKBUl uranium thermodynamic data base is performed. Experimental solubilities for schoepite, rutherfordite, UO2(am) and UO2(c) determined in a wide range of pH, PCO2, carbonate concentration and temperature are compared to calculated ones by using EQ3NR.

AbstractThe solubility of some of the radiologically important actinide elements have been determined in a water whose chemistry was representative of that believed to exist in potential repositories in the U.K. The solubilities of the actinides have been determined as a function of the pH of the water. The results of these experiments have been compared with the results of predictions made using the PHREEQE geochemical modelling code in order to test and validate the data base used in the model. In the light of these comparisons, suggestions are made for alternative values for the thermodynamic data and for further studies.

SummaryThe Nagra/PSI Chemical Thermodynamic Data Base has been updated to support performance assessments of the planned Swiss repositories for radioactive waste. The update from version 05/92 to 01/01 involved major revisions for most of the actinides and fission products. Altogether, more than 70% of the database contents have been revised. Data for U, Np, Pu, Am and Tc recommended by the NEA TDB project were considered in the update. Thermodynamic data for Th, Sn, Eu, Pd, Al, and solubility and metal complexation of sulphides and silicates were extensively reviewed. Data for Zr, Ni and Se were examined less rigorously as these elements are currently being reviewed in phase II of the NEA TDB project. Our experiences from this two year team effort can be summarised as follows. Detailed in-house reviews and critical appraisal of NEA recommendations greatly improved the chemical consistency and quality of the selected data. On the other hand, we could discern major gaps in the data, especially missing carbonate complexes. In some systems,

Many Aluminium alloys use the precipitation of metastable phases to generate optimum properties. The effect of including additional structures such as θ’ and GP zones is described in the context of a hierarchy of metastable structures. Extending a Thermodynamic data base that has been designed solely to deal with equilibrium conditions is a vital prerequisite to handling the heattreatment of aluminium alloys. It is then possible to generate TTT and CCT diagrams, using the Johnson-Mehl-Avrami treatment previously applied in to other materials providing provision is made for the presence of supersaturated quenched-in vacancies. Calculations using JMatPro are given for the expected behavior of commercial aluminium alloys of increasing complexity, including AA319, AA6061 and AA7075.
