A REVIEW OF THE CORROSION BEHAVIOR OF URANIUM
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4274232
Unpublished work on the corrosion of unalloyed uranium is summarized. Data are presented for dry air and oxygen and for attack by water, water vapor, and steam, as well as by moist air and helium. The role of lattice defects in the corrosion mechanism is also discussed. Particular attention has been given to the effects of impurities and test conditions on the rates of corrosion. The general inability to obtain reproducible data has been attributed to the influence of small obscure variations in the test procedure. The effects of intentional impurity additions appear to be small. (auth)
