A knowledge of the mechanical and physical properties of uranium is important in understanding its pile behavior. The effects of irradiation on the properties of uranium will be dealt with in another chapter. However, it is important to know and understand the pre-irradiation properties of uranium prior to investigating the effects of irradiation. This chapter discusses the mechanical and physical properties of uranium.
