The self-diffusion coefficient or uranium was measured at four temperatures in the gamma phase. The data are fitted by an Arrhenius-type equation D = 2.33 x well with previously reported results. The value of D/sub o/ is lower than that predicted by Zener's theory, and the activation energy is much less than the value expected from various empirical correlations.

The diffusion of tracer amounts of chromium in gamma uranium was studied by the radioactive tracer-sectioning method. The temperature dependence of the diffusion coefficient D is given by D = 1.98 x 10−3 ( -2l,800/RT)cm sq./sec, in poor agreement with the data of Mosse, Levy, and Adda. Possible reasons for the discrepancy are discussed, and it is concluded that the present data are to be preferred as a basis for theoretical studies of the diffusion of tracers in gamma uranium. The difference between the activation energy and that for self-diffusion is also discussed; no conclusions are reached.
