RE: Uranium Nitrate (uranyl nitrate) - Australian source
Paul, Thanks for the info. If there is that much uranium in the creek water the crocodiles should be about the size of houses at least accordinding to all those Sci Fi movies from the 1950s. ;-) I would encourage you tp try uranotypes. You would also find uranium toning of silver prints interesting.

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.
