Abstract 1. A CATALYST COMPOSITION SUITABLE FOR USE IN THE REFORMING OF HYDROCARBONS WITH STEAM AT AN ELEVATED TEMPERATURE WHICH CATALYST COMPOSITION COMPRISES: (1) AT LEAST ONE MEMBER SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF NICKEL AND NICKEL OXIDE, (2) AT LEAST ONE MEMBER SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF URANOSO-URANIC OXIDE (U3O8) AND URANIUM TRIOXIDE (UO3), AND (3) A CARRIER, THE COMPOSITION CONTAINING URANIUM, CALCULATED AS URANOSO-URANIC OXIDE OR URANIUM TRIOXIDE, IN AN AMOUNT OF FROM 5 TO 30 PERCENT BASED ON THE TOTAL WEIGHT OF THE CATALYST COMPOSITION, THE RATIO OF URANIUM TO NICKEL PRESENT IN THE CATALYST COMPOSITION, IN THE REDUCED FORM, BEING FROM ABOUT 0.45 TO ABOUT 0.76:1, SAID CATALYST COMPOSITION HAVING BEEN PRODUCED IN ITS OXIDIZED FORM BY IMPREGNATING THE CARRIER WITH A SOLUTION OF URANIUM AND NICKEL SALTS AND CALCINING SAID SALTS TO THE OXIDES.
