Abstract

A key challenge with nuclear safeguards environmental sampling is chemical and structure characterization of particulate material post release due to environmentally induced chemical changes. Here, uranium tetrafluoride (UF₄) is an important intermediate in the upstream and downstream chemical conversion process of uranium feedstock and metal production processes used in nuclear fuel production; however, minimal published research exists relating to UF₄ hydrolysis.
