If you knew how bad it really is: [VIDEO] Anyway here's where you can order bulk capsule of americium: [LINK] Thorium oxide powder [LINK] That should get you started repeating the atomic boyscouts experiments straigt from china. If the thorium oxide isn't to your liking in bulk, it's been sold as a "negative ion" product to gullible esoteric idiots and widely available. Edit: you might also need some beryllium for the neutron gun, you can get that on ebay [LINK] Anyway, i'm on a whole lot of fbi lists now

Not entirely related. Some scam health products are made with radioactive material[0,1] (thorium dioxide) and can be found in wands, baby clothing, pendents, cards, wristbands, face cream, toothbrushes, and more. Even more concerning given that these products will shed that radioactive material into the environment and be ingested by humans. The "quantum wands" as shown in the YouTube video are filled with a sizeable quantity of thorium dioxide powder and is possible to forcibly open. They are illegal but continue to be sold.
