Anyone know where to buy high contaminant depleted urnaium rod stock?


Contrary to what many people on here say when they hear the word "uranium", depleted uranium's primary use is that it's dense. You can buy it as ballast for aircraft and boats.

Precisely.
And whats the best shape for a hull length ballast? Rod.
Why? Boats use a V (generally) hull design.

Tungsten is much safer, but I wonder how much it costs...

The replies to this thread have been horrendously pathetic. Everyone who answered in a bullshit way should be ashamed of themselves. Can't a guy ask for a little Uranium purcahsing advice anymore?
