Equilibrium compatibility studies have shown that frequently more than one type of compound is formed in a single fuel-transition metal reaction. In addition, the compounds thus formed may contain elements in varying proportions. These observations have been formulated into a simple rule and examined by experimental studies and thermodynamic calculations. The results deal mainly with the equilibrium compatibility of uranium carbides with (Cr-Fe-Ni) alloys.
