The nitridation rates of uranium-5% fissium alloys were investigated at about 200 to 650 deg C and at nitrogen concentrations in argon from about 0.5 to 100%. The effects of Na coatings and irradiation of the alloy were examined. The nitridation rates of the alloys followed a parabolic law, with activation energies between 14 and 16 kcal/mole. The ignition behavior of irradiated alloy in nitrogen-argon mixtures was investigated briefly.
