United Nuclear sells some scary stuff. Looking for some uranium? They've got it. As well as super radioactive ore. They'll ship it right to your front door. Plus, chemicals to build explosives. It all has a jokey feel to it, but the more I look at the site, the more convinced I become that it's real. I think it's a store for science hobbyists that's purposely going for the 'mad scientist' feel.

radiation then you are all nuts. First off the
same crap that all those Ex vets claimed to have been poisoned with in Desert Storm was U-238 or perhaps U-245 meaing it is entirely harmless.
Will not go into details but only FRESH highly enriched ios dangerous and the other is just a very dense metal such a gold or lead...Hell I have held A Geiger counter next to smaples of
REAL A-10 Warthog 20mm rounds for ten or twentyminutes and got more radiation readings from the damn microwave in our Lunch room so put your fears aside..the stuff is harmeless !!!!!
As far as aliens go then you had better look up Bentwaters AF Base sighting which happened in the eighties as that I believe...Bentwaters is located 100 miles from London,England and once housed Nuclear Weapons...Aliens dropped in to check out weapons and used a special beam to access enitre package in the bunkers while scarring the hell out of US Airforce personell.
They were some sort of probes sent into Earth to see our weapons stored at Bent waters in England!!!

You cannot blame united nuclear for the current slow service. They have said on their site for the past month+ that they are moving into a new warehouse, which will definitely slow service, plus they have to deal with the government. They were recently raided by the CPSC. Also, they have contracts to supply many laboratories, schools, and government organizations, which means they are a very busy company. And with the government trying to give all chemical suppliers as much crap as possible, blame the Government for trying to shut them all down..not slow service..NO service. So, before you say anything bad about UNSS, try to read into a website and what they tell you before you buy.

just to tell you, there is a ready sorce of protons- neutrons! they will decay after the protons go, with a half life of 10 minutes.
Bismuth is radioactive, just with the longest half life every discovered.

We buy Uranium Ores samples for our uranium synthesis and enrichment process and EMP experiments in our nuclear science & applied physics laboratory.
Samples came in radiation-proof cases, and can be handled safely.
My geiger counter confirmed their certificate to be 100% accurate (and radioactive).
While their items are radioactive, they could not be weaponized for a RDD or a dirty bomb. The US Postal Service scans for that type of material.
Any material that could be weaponized is regulated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
If you fly across the coutry you would be exposed to more radiation than by handling most of these rocks for a couple of minutes.
If you ever get a sunburn that is also much more dangerous to your health.
United Nuclear takes the time to mark the more radioactive items and even has a page devoted to the safe collection and handling of these rocks for beginning collectors.
Also like one fellow mentioned, if you travel to states like Utah you could dig up your own radioactive specimens.
I find it very hard to believe your signature "Ph.D, M.D." with your grammar. No one "is" a Ph.D, but they may attain one.
The rod for the ring stand doesn't fit into the base so it's unusable, and I can't get anyone to respond to my emails about how to get a replacement. Very very very bad customer service. I just filed a complaint through paypal, and I guess if they don't respond in 20 days I'll at least get my money back.
They finally sent the correct item, but it took about 2 months total time and filing a grievance with paypal to get the order filled properly.
