The ionization potentials are successive rather than cumulative, i.e., the ionization potential for U9+ is the energy for the reaction


                    U9+ t UI0+ + e


        The uranium plasma composition for pressures from 100 atm to 1000 atm and temperatures to 120,000"K are shown in Figures 25 through 34 of this appendix.

        The UPLAZ-2 program is written in FORTRAN IV for the IBM 360/50.
