The reaction of UF4 with dry O2 has been investigated in the temperature range of 600 to 900 deg C. In addition to the expected products, UF6 and UO2F2, UF5 was isolated from the system, and is postulated to be the product of a side reaction between UF6 and UF4. Only slight decomposition of UO2F2 was observed in this temperature range in accordance with thermodynamic predictions. (auth)
