The Gibbs free energies of the liquid, bcc, fcc, (alpha U), (beta U), (delta'Pu), (gamma Pu), (beta Pu) and (alpha Pu) phases were described by a subregular solution model with the Redlich-Kister equation, and those of the intermetallic compounds (Pb3U, PbU, PbPu3, Pb3Pu5, Pb4Pu5, Pb5Pu4, alpha Pb2Pu, beta Pb2Pu and Pb3Pu) by a two-sublattice model. The thermodynamic parameters for the two binary systems were optimized to consistently reproduce the available experimental data with satisfactory agreement. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V.
