Long-term interactions of refractory metals and noble metals with CoO, Co0.5Mg0.5O, and CoAl2O4 were investigated 1000 deg C and 1850 deg C to select encapsulation materials for radioisotopic power applications of 60Co. Rhenium was the only refractory metal that exhibited no solid-state reactions wi...
