Let me resume Portugal uranium affair ...from 1955, to 1987, glass industry in Portugal used trioxide uranium, by a chemical method ( 1. dissolution of uranium in nitric acid, 2. purification with phospate 3. precipitation in ammonia 4. calcination at 350.º 5. and the metal, trioxide of uranium) this was, low enriched uranium. This uranium also uranium oxide was the "depleted"uranium sold to Saddam Hussein. Today's nuclear reactor at Loures IST university, is producing "irradiate" nuclear fuel, by the method of PWR (pressurized water reactor) the only uranium extracted is low enriched.


Ok, on the last picture they show top left the graphite that goes inside the furnace...the graphite nuclear reactor is this one ((this enrichment process is the simple you can get, gas diffusion separation method)

So, we usually think that producing yellow cake, is as difficult as, building a nuclear reactor, as Iran objectiv. Well Saddam Hussein was smarter "During the 1970s and early 1980s, Iraq bought uranium in various forms from the international market. These materials included about 486 tons of yellowcake, 33,470 kg of “natural” uranium dioxide, 1,767 kg of “low-enriched” uranium dioxide (2.6 percent 235U), and 6,005 kg of “depleted” uranium dioxide from Portugal, Italy, Niger, and Brazil.

How Many People Can Fit Inside A VW Beetle?

So, let's move to homemade Uranyl oxide (UO3); U3O8; uranyl salts ! is produced by heating dry UO4·nH2O in an open-air container at about 300 °C. During the process of heating, volatile contaminants (water, oxygen, ammonia, halogens, hydrogen peroxide) are driven off. During preparation, keep stirring the yellow peroxide as it turns orange. If the temperature is managed properly, the product will be a clean orange color. If allowed to overheat, U3O8 begins forming and the orange color fades to darker shades of brown-green


welcome back to war! So, I said to you, hold on, with every amount of unprocessed uranium you might have !!!! Watch out carefully, what I'm going to say...having non processed uranium, by a chemical mix, you get PUREX, high radioactive nuclear fuel. here's the procedure : " nitric acid, tri-n-butyl phosphate (from QualityBiological.com), Kleen-Strip 1-K kerosene (Home Depot), and 4.8 g of homemade uranyl oxide )


Do not forget, so you can extract uranyl oxide, you must have uranium already oxidized.

so...this is a sample of NA(CI) sodium encapsulating Cesium 137, or if not with the sample with the photomultipler tube (already posted ..) all you need is :put Nuclespot grill with table salt (NaCl), contain the salt with a piece of packing tape across the face of the source, and place the salted source in front of an HPGe detector for a few hours.....

you need to purchase high expertise electronics , with this germanium diode...on eBay, everywhere ...
