Abstract
Alpha-particle decomposition of uranium hexafluoride has been studied over the temperature range 26° to 87°C. Radiation was obtained by use of charges of about 0·1 c Rn-222. Products of the decomposition are fluorine and intermediate uranium fluorides; the products react with each other, apparently by a radiation-induced process, to re-form uranium hexafluoride. Reaction rates are independent of temperature over the temperature range studied. Average values of GU and M/n are, respectively, 0·90 and 0·27, the latter being based on loss of 30 eV by an α-particle when it produces one ion pair.
