Summary

To study the reaction of water vapor with uranium, we have exposed clean liquid uranium surfaces to H/sub 2/O under UHV conditions. We have measured the surface concentration of oxygen as a function of exposure, and determined the maximum attainable surface oxygen concentration X/sub 0//sup s/ as a function of temperature. We have used these measurements to estimate, close to the melting point, the solubility of oxygen (X/sub 0//sup b/, < 10/sup -4/) and its surface segregation coefficient ..beta../sup s/(> 10/sup 3/). 8 refs., 5 figs., 1 tab.
