Anyone know where I can get Plutonium, Beryllium, and some small explosive charges cheap?

Its for a... uh... my... uh... sister's Science Fair project. ;) I'd prefer 2 day FedEx if possible.

<Edit>

Removing a stump from my front yard BTW. :D

Actually, if you can get some uranium and break into a doctors office, you could make plutonium from it.

Also, plutonium may be radioactive, but guess what? It is not going to kill you, the radiation when it is not undergoing a nuclear reaction is very minimal. Although the substance itself is toxic for other reasons, if you injest it. But just its normal decay is harmless, and so is that of uranium.

And don't try to say the Curie's died of it, they were doing expiraments and were accelerating the decay rate and causing small scale reactions. Of course they would have more exposure, it wasn't normal decay. (I have held in my bare hands a peice of U-238, about 85% pure) Guess what, it didn't do anything to me, I held it for about 15 minutes. Heck it couldn't even get rid of my warts.

There is more radiation coming from your monitor than from a peice of uranium when its decaying naturally.

Radon is the same way, its radioactive yes, but when its naturally present it decays at a slow safe rate. Even in radon mines where it radon gas is in higher concentrations are safe, and you recieve about the equivelent of 2 xrays every day in a radon mine. Why do you think people pay money to sit in radon mines? Because the radiation kills bacteria and virii, which makes people healthier.

Okay, end of rant. I just get so sick of enviromentalists saying that radiation in any amount is going to kill you. Heck, did you know that YOU ARE RADIOACTIVE?

Murmansk for the plutonium, and for beryllium try any metal stockist or chemical supplier. as for a small explosive charge, try getting some fertilizer and some sugar :)

Actually, Marie Curie died from hip cancer caused by her carrying around a sample of Uranium in her hip pocket for a long time.

And naturally, indeed Uranium is relatively harmless. However, weapons grade enriched uranium 235, which i think is what Monel might find quite useful, is slightly more hazardous. Only an alpha emitter though isn't it? pah, perfectly wimpy

Monel,

I assume you have already spent the +/- $ One Mill for an approved Plutonium storage facility &amp; Lic ?

BTW, what do you consider cheap ? &amp; How much is a small quanity ?

My suppliers are very hesitant to cut chunks off of the ingots.

Please fax me a copy of your facility certificate, DOD approval form, NRC certificate, AEC certificate, FBI background check file #, security clearance level. Copies of the plane tickets, photos &amp; birth certificates of the 3 over 18 babes you are sending to my place, along with your left nutt packed in dry ice.

Oh yes &amp; a Swiss Bank Account # so that I can verify that you have sufficient funds on hand for the transaction.

Did everyone here know that bananas are radioactive? The potasium in one can be picked up with a Geiger counter from over 25 feet.

Holy schmoly! These damn import taxes kill ya. Will a spleen work? I sold both nuts to get the particle accelerator I bought last week. :D
