From Wikipedia

Triuranium octoxide (U3O8) is a compound of uranium. It is present as an olive green solid, and is one of the forms of yellowcake. U3O8 has potential long-term stability in a geologic environment. In the presence of oxygen (O2), uranium dioxide (UO2) is oxidized to U3O8, whereas uranium trioxide (UO3) loses oxygen at temperatures above 500 °C and is reduced to U3O8. The compound can be produced by the calcination of ammonium diuranate or ammonium uranyl carbonate. Due to its high stability, it can be used for the disposal of depleted uranium. Its particle density is 8.38 g cm-3. Triuranium octoxide is converted to uranium hexafluoride for the purpose of uranium enrichment.
