4. HAZARDS AND PROTECTION

This material decomposes to form U2O7 then to UO3 and oxygen.

Storage:

• Protect from physical damage.
• Store in a cool, dry place.
• Protect personnel from radiation emanation if present.
• Separate from other readily oxidable or combustible materials.

Handling:

• All chemicals should be considered hazardous.
• Avoid physical contact.
• Use appropriate and approved safety equipment.
• Untrained individuals should not handle this material or its container.
• Handling should occur in a chemical fume hood.

Protection: Wear protective gloves, clothing, and goggles.

Respirators: Wear positive self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).

Small Spills and Leaks:

• Do not touch damaged packages or spilled material.
• If the material spilled is in liquid form, cover it with sand, earth, or other noncombustible absorbent material.
• If the material spilled is in powder form, cover it with a plastic sheet or tarp to minimize spreading.
• Contact the RSO.

Stability: Stable at recommended storage conditions.

Incompatibilities: Reacts rapidly with liquid bromine trifluoride.

5. FIREFIGHTING

The presence of a radioactive material will not influence the fire control processes and should not influence the selection of techniques.

• Small fires: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray, or regular foam.
• Large fires: Water spray, fog (flooding amounts).

Fire Potential: May burn but does not ignite readily.

6. HEALTH AND EXPOSURE EFFECTS

This material decomposes to form U2O7 then to UO3 and oxygen.
