Abstract Uranium hydride (UH 3 ) is the direct product of the reaction between uranium metal and gaseous hydrogen. In the context of uranium storage, this corrosion reaction is considered deleterious, not just because the structure of the metal may become significantly degraded but also because the resulting hydride is pyrophoric and therefore potentially flammable in air if present in significant quantity. The current review draws from the literature surrounding the uranium-hydrogen system accrued over a 70-year period, providing a comprehensive assessment of what is known about hydride formation, decomposition and oxidation in the context of uranium storage applications

氢腐蚀铀及氢化铀形成综述

摘要 氢化铀（UH 3 ）是金属铀与气态氢反应的直接产物。在铀储存的背景下，这种腐蚀反应被认为是有害的，不仅因为金属的结构可能会显着退化，而且因为生成的氢化物是自燃的，因此如果大量存在，可能在空气中易燃。目前的评论取材于围绕 70 年期间积累的铀氢系统的文献，对铀储存应用中氢化物形成、分解和氧化的已知情况进行了全面评估。
