Judy ,

I have a big, new Fisher catalog and Uranium Nitrate is not listed. I might call them under the guise of Professor Schramm and see what they say.

Then maybe I can write something up for you if you would like. Won't do it at this stage because I don't know enough yet.

Watching my mail for the next PF.
