THE WATER VAPOUR CORROSION OF URANIUM AND ITS PREVENTION
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4611560
The reaction between uranium and atmospheres containing water vapour in the presence of nitrogen and oxygen has been studied at 25 and 40 deg C. The steady production of hydrogen from uranium and moist nitrogen was suppressed by the presence of gaseous oxygen, which itself was slowly consumed. The ability of sulphide and arsenic coatings to suppress hydrogen production from uranium in moist nitrogen was also investigated. (auth)
