    Uranium Metal: Allotropic Forms

    Uploaded by

    Arslan Anjum
    Uranium metal exists in two allotropic forms. When irradiated, uranium samples change shape without significant change in volume due to the formation of vacancies and interstitials within the crystal lattice. Irradiation also causes cavitational swelling in uranium samples.
