and reagents. As recently as 2009, actinide oxides, such as curium sesquioxide, are being considered for storage uses (in the form of heavily durable ceramic glassware) for the transportation of the light-and-air sensitive fission and transmutation target substances. Other reactions Curium sesquioxide will spontaneously react with gaseous oxygen at high temperatures. At lower temperatures, a spontaneous reaction will occur over a period of time. Curium trioxide reacted with water has been hypothesized to afford a hydration reaction, but little experimentation has been done to prove the hypothesis. Curium sesquioxide has been shown to not react with nitrogen gas, spontaneously or non-spontaneously.
