[ RadSafe ] additional uranium trioxide gas references

[James Salsman]

Since my detractors are so certain that uranium trioxide is
not a gas, but when asked to say why they merely call for
censorship and shunning, I present these additional
peer-reviewed scientific reports in support of the existence
of UO3 gas, a combustion product of aerial uranium ignition:

K. Nakajima and Y. Arai, in "Mass-spectrometric investigation
of UO3(g)," J. Nucl. Mater., vol. 294, no. 3 (2001) pp. 250-255;

D.W. Green, "Relationship between spectroscopic data and
thermodynamic functions; application to uranium, plutonium, and
thorium oxide vapor species," J. Nucl. Mater., vol. 88, no. 1
(1980) pp. 51-63;

R.J. Ackermann and A.T. Chang, "Thermodynamic Characterization
of U3O8-Z Phase," J. Chem. Thermodyn., vol. 5, no. 6 (1973)
pp. 873-890.

More are available if need be.

Sincerely,
James Salsman
