Kinetics of the reaction between water and uranium hydride prepared under conditions relevant to uranium storage

Uranium polyhydrides at moderate pressures: Prediction, synthesis, and expected superconductivity

“…Uranium hydride is a highly toxic compound that spontaneously ignites in the air ( 3 ) and reacts with water ( 4 ). It is used mainly for separation of hydrogen isotopes ( 5 ), but it can also be a component of explosives.…”
