I leave it to you where the uranium comes from. uranium oxide disolves in water, they store the ash from the power plants in ponds, western states coal has uranium in it. google it up your self.

rick, google up "uranium in coal" and you will find a study by the usgs that states that western states coal has uranium, eastern state coal, like kansas coal does not.

Good bet this comes from the coal waste; send it to Holcomb since they want it so badly
