Uranium Nitrate (uranyl nitrate) - Australian source
For fellow Aussies on the list Uranyl Nitrate can be sourced from Vanbar Photographics, (www.http://www.vanbar.com.au/catalogue/index.php then LHS menu >Chemistry>Bulk). The pricing for this is: Photochem Uranyl Nitrate 10 gm (Ref No: 05561-0010) AUD Inc. Tax: $50.16 AUD Ex. Tax: $45.60 Export: USD 34.52 While they list an export price I would love to hear what happens when someone actually tries to place an export order. Alternatively if you live where I do (Townsville, far north Queensland) you can always go to the nearby non-operational 'Ben Lomond' uranium mine and collect your own. If uranotypes are too much trouble just collect creek water near the mine to use as a print intensifier. Just be careful of the crocodiles and remember to wear gloves ;-) Bob, I'd previously seen your uranium article on Unblinking Eye and would like to try the process at some stage. I'll have to make a trip up to the mine soon. Next birthday I'll have to ask for some lead underwear. Regards, PAUL -----Original Message----- From: Robert W.

They write to me because I have various articles published on the web on how to make uranotypes. I would like to help these people but I honestly do not know where to get this chemical compound. Therefore, I appeal to the list. Do any of you have any uranium nitrate that you would be willing to donate or sell to me. so that I can redistribute it to these people. Also, does anyone know of a source of uranium nitrate? It is in the form of yellow crystals which are highly soluable in water. Thanks for any help.
