Abstract
Some recent compilations of elementary thermodynamic properties of metal-water systems and derived quantities which are needed for optimum design and operation of nuclear steam generation equipment are summarized. Free energies of iron, cobalt, nickel, copper and aluminium metal, oxides and ions in dilute aqueous solution at temperatures up to 300 degree C are tabulated. Derived data on potential-pH relations, solubilities, H//2 and O//2 equilibrium pressures for reduction and oxidation processes and compound oxide formation are outlined. The practical significance is indicated. Needs for improved data are noted.
