[ RadSafe ] Thorium Oxide Supplier

[John R Johnson]

Carol

I suggest you look for somebody from Western Australia. Companies there
extract minerals from the "mineral sands" and when I reviewed their
facilities in 1989, the thorium was a waste product. I think the same is
true in other mineral sand facilities.

You could try to find a contact from Australia on the ARPS web site at

Colleagues:

I am looking for a supplier (domestic or global) of thorium oxide, or a firm
that is able to convert thorium nitrate to thorium oxide.  The need is for
hundreds of kilograms, not just a gram or two, so a small producer or
distributor probably won't do.  If you know of any, or can point me in the
right direction on tracking one down, I sure would appreciate it.  Thanks in
advance.
