The paper formulates the rate equations for twelve species: water, hydroxyl, molecular and atomic oxygen, molecular and atomic hydrogen, and their respective first ions for conditions expected to hold in the magnetosphere of Uranus. These equations have been solved numerically for maximal and minimal source strengths of the five known satellites, and the expected neutral and plasma number densities in the tori predicted to be associated with them have been calculated. It is found that under most conditions, there should be a sensible plasma torus associated with each satellite whose orbit is enclosed within the assumed magnetosphere.
