Yup,so im wanting to make a uranium toner.Im looking for the powder or chunks to add to the solutions.I saw uranayl nitrate,is that the same thing?Thanks for any help

Yup, same thing. I have a fair amount, and might beat the prices you're finding.

Sorry, but I don't know much about toning or intensifying, I used it for uranium printing. Maybe someone else will chime in...

In the past I did some Uranium toning on FB paper, nice brown/red hue. Formula from the old literature, nothing special. BUT uranium compounds are extremely toxic (not so much the low radioactivity, but the compound by itself). I work in a lab, but when I found out that even for our lab a special permit is needed I abandoned uranium toning and disposed the left over in a proper way)
So please do research on working with uranium compounds and draw your own conclusions,
Best,

Some good information on this thread: http://www.largeformatphotography.in...anotype-Thread
Uranyl nitrate is easy to get here from scientific suppliers, and there simply needs to be a minor shipping surcharge for the tiny quantites a photographer needs. It can't be mailed.
If you check the sixth post, you'll find a couple pages of Uranotype processes from Modern Heliographic Processes. These were my starting point for uranium printing back in the 1970's/'80's. After applying my considerable education and expertise towards experimentation, modification and improvement of the historic chemistry, I found the original formulae worked best.
