DOE-HDBK-1113-98
Module 101 Properties of Uranium
Lesson Plan
Instructor's Notes
Uranium hexafluoride (UF6) reacts in moist air to
produce hydrogen fluoride (HF) gas, which is
corrosive and can damage the lungs if breathed.
Inhalation of HF has resulted in fatalities following
UF6 releases.
The chemical form of uranium is dependent on its
intended use and its stage of production. For
example, UF6 is used during the enrichment process,
and UO2 is used as nuclear fuel. When handling
uranium compounds, the possibility of chemical
reactions must not be overlooked.
