Hazards and Protection.
Storage Protect from physical damage. Store at in cool, dry place. Protect personnel from radiation emanation if present. Separate from other readily oxidizable or combustible materials.
Handling All chemicals should be considered hazardous. Avoid direct physical contact. Use appropriate, approved safety equipment. Untrained individuals should not handle this chemical or its container. Handling should occur in a chemical fume hood.
Protection Wear appropriate protective gloves, clothing and goggles.
Respirators Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
Small spills/leaks Do not touch damaged packages or spilled material. Cover liquid spill with sand, earth or other noncombustible absorbent material. Cover powder spill with plastic sheet or tarp to minimize spreading. Contact radiation safety officer.
Stability No data.
Incompatibilities Reacts rapidly with liquid bromine trifluoride.


 

Fire.
Fire fighting Presence of radioactive material will not influence the fire control processes and should not influence 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.
Hazards Decomposes to form U 2 O 7 then to UO 3 and oxygen.


 

Health.
Exposure limit(s) OSHA: PEL (8 h TWA): 0.05 mg
Exposure effects
   Ingestion See Inhalation.
   Inhalation Stridor, dyspnea, upper airway injury, and pulmonary edema, especially following inhalation of vaporized caustics, may occur.
   Skin Severe skin irritation and/or burns may occur.
