Abstract
The Kaufman approach has been applied to the calculation of the liquid plus bcc portion of binary phase diagrams amongst the elements Th, U, Pu, and Np. Reasonable agreement between calculated and experimentally determined phase boundaries has been achieved in systems not involving Th. The discrepancies exhibited by systems involving Th have been attributed to the large difference in the valence and the size of the participating atomic species.
