Examples of UNiAlD2.1 and UCoGe illustrate that the soft crystallographic direction coincides quite generally with the shortest U-U links in U intermetallics. Added to existing experimental evidence on U compounds it leads to a simple rule that the easy magnetization direction and the soft crystallographic direction (in the sense of hightest compressibility under hydrostatic pressure) must be mutually orthogonal. ; JRC.E.6-Actinide research
