Abstract
TERNARY compounds of uranium and carbon with the first row elements of group VIII A in the periodic table have been known for some time. This is because of the relevance of the appropriate ternary phase relationships to the use of Fe, Co and Ni as canning materials for nuclear fuels. The compounds UFeC2, UCoC2, UNiC2 and U2NiC3 have been described1,2.
