Bob,
Could you provide a brief description of the characteristics of a uranium
print? What results does uranium printing provide that are unavailable with
other processes?
Thanks

Dave,
Probably no more toxic than many other processes. Well, you gotta keep
your fingers out of the uranium nitrate, but the same is true for potassium
oxalate and a few others. The image is composed of uranium metal but there
is so little present it would take a very sensitive scintillation counter to
detect any radiation. I have attempted to measure the radiation with a good
geiger counter. No reading.
My graduate degree is in nuclear physics so I have an interest in this
process. Also I have the expertise to evaluate the dangers.
Are you anywhere in the vicinity of the old testing sites. I expect that
they are still somewhat radioactive.
Best W.Va. wishes,
Bob Schramm
