| PRODUCT DATA of Uranium |
| Material | Uranium |
| General Information | Depleted Uranium |
| Precautions | The metal is radioactive. It will corrode under the influence of air and water producing insoluble uranium(IV) and soluble uranium (VI) salts. Soluble uranium salts are toxic. Uranium is pyrophoric when finely divided |
