OSTI ID:4563543
Uranium and water react to form hydrogen and a solid product containing non-stoichiometric uranium dioxide, UO{sub 2.06 +- 0.02}, and 2 - 9% UH{sub 3}. The relative amounts of the products vary with the pressure of water vapour and to a smaller extent with the temperature and batch of uranium, but are independent of hydrogen pressure and reaction time. The UH{sub 3} - H{sub 2}O reaction is similar in many respects to the U-H{sub 2}O reaction. A mechanism is suggested for the U-H{sub 2}O reaction involving UH{sub 3} as an intermediate product.
