Under an oxidizing atmosphere, the formation of UO and UZrO was observed in equilibrium with UO, monoclinic-ZrO, and tetragonal-ZrO. However, when O gas was purged through the reaction tube during the cooling process to room temperature, pentavalent U in ZrUO was produced by the oxidation of solid solution UO formed at 1774 K during the temperature dropped at 1473 K. Under the inert atmosphere, mixed oxides of uranium were found to form at 1673 K due to a low concentration of O impurity with the Ar gas. This study can pave the way for understanding the interaction between the nuclear fuels and the cladding materials in damaged reactors enabling further simulation of possible decontamination procedures.
