“…However, less than the stoichiometric amount of hydrogen expected to be generated according to equation (6) has been observed, and several authors report the presence, detected by various means, of small amounts of uranium hydride UH3 (Kondo et al, 1964(Kondo et al, , 1974Baker et al, 1966a;Winer et al, 1987), uranium hydroxide U(OH)3 (Waber, 1958), or a hydrated uranium oxide U02+yy H2O (Waber, 1958;Wilkinson, 1962) to account for the deficient hydrogen. Of these compounds, uranium hydride is the most consistently and conclusively observed.…”
