Poor kids! 
Nah I already have some astatine (by means of my handy astatine producer - an autunite sample). By some I mean probably 1-2 atoms at any given time.
But that's enough for me 
Thanks for the offer though

Quote: Originally posted by EF2000  | Pakistan was dumping their nuclear waste in Afghanistan in 2000s. Given the local conditions, waste is likely to be unguarded and either left on
surface or buried not so deep.
So everything beerwiz needs is a spade and one ticket to Afghanistan. Getting the found treasure out of the country would be the hardest part, but
some experiments can be carried out on site. If captured by Taliban, no need to worry, they are less radical than IS-KP and unlikely to behead you.
If you find anything interesting, beerwiz, send some samples to Idlib, Syria. Local researchers want to experiment a bit too. |
Do you know the exact location? All I need is a kilo of spent nuclear fuel and I can do the plutonium-239 extraction myself (purex process) which
should yield about 1-3% by weight, that's about 10-30g of Pu-239 to play with which is more than enough for my needs.

"Heaps of yellowish, sandy material and pale sludge can be seen around the village of Baghalchur, located in the barren hills around the city
of Dera Ghazi Khan, around 300 km south of the capital Islamabad, in the southern Pakistani province of Punjab."
Seems like it is just processed yellow cake. Nothing useful there. What I really need are the pellets from inside the spent fuel rods.

what a waste of time...
Yes isotopic separation can be done at home pretty easily, depend which isotope you want to enriched or deplete,
No you won`t be able to collect much if anything.
No you will not separate "it" from anything without a decent (costly) lab
Yes you`ll need an ICP-MS to monitor your progress..
Yes it can be modified to collect one isotope but,
1 it won`t separate isobaric isotope which could be a problem and
2 the yield is so low, it would take decades to get to a visible speck
None of these info are particularly hard to find. I think he/she is interested in the subject on the surface at least, but has not done much research.
Or looked in the wrong place
or trolling I don`t know
