Ternary (Mo-Ru-Pd) and binary (Mo-Ru, Mo-Pd) alloys have been prepared using an Ar arc melting furnace. Mo and the noble metals, Ru and Pd, are the constituents of metallic insoluble residues, which were found in the early days of post-irradiation studies on uranium oxide fuels. In the present study, the structure of the alloys was evaluated using a powder X-ray diffractometer. Unit cell parameters were determined by least squares refinements of powder X-ray diffraction data. Scanning electron microscopic analyses of the surface of the alloys indicated that surface morphology was dependent on the crystallographic structure as well as its composition. Measurements of the magnetic susceptibility of the alloys showed evidence of superconducting transition from 3 to 9.2 K. Among the ternary and binary alloys, the ${sigma}-phase$ showed the highest superconducting transition temperature,~9.2 K.
