UO2 enthalpy data measured by five different investigators were fitted to a theoretically based equation from room temperature to the melting point. The equation can be used to calculate enthalpy, and differentiated to obtain heat capacity in this temperature range. Two of the constants in the equation are related to properties of the UO2 lattice.
