The oxygen chemical diffusion of fast neutron reactor MOX U$$_{0.698}$$Pu$$_{0.289}$$Am$$_{0.013}$$O$$_{2-x}$$ was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis between 1773 and 1923 K, using an innovative experimental procedure. At a given temperature, the oxygen chemical diffusion coefficients were shown to decrease when the Oxygen/Metal ratio decreases (in hypo-stoichiometry). The variations of the oxygen chemical diffusion coefficients as a function of temperature and oxygen partial pressure (hence oxygen stoichiometry) were paralleled to a defect chemistry model.
