ABSTRACT
Lanthanides are among the major fission products formed during irradiation. Compounds of the formula RE6UO12 are known to be formed in RE-U-O systems, where RE represents lanthanides. Heat capacity measurements were carried out on La6UO12, Sm6UO12 and Eu6UO12 using differential scanning calorimetry in the temperature range 298 to 800 K. From the measured heat capacity values, other thermodynamic functions such as enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs energy functions were computed. The heat capacity values of La6UO12, Sm6UO12 and Eu6UO12 at 298 K are 407, 439 and 461 J K-1mol.-1 respectively.
