In this paper, the experimentally measured F K (1s) X-ray Emission from a Uranium Tetrafluoride sample is presented and discussed, including comparison to the results of an earlier cluster calculation by Ryzhkov and coworkers. It is shown that the F K (1s) spectrum is dominated by emission from the bulk UF4, but a small secondary peak can be associated with the Uranyl Fluoride produced during surface degradation.
