THE PERREAULT PROCESS

by Bruce A. Perreault   02/16/02

Step #1. Half-fill a one-gallon pickle jar with crushed radioactive rocks. Next cover the rock material with muriatic acid (28% hydrochloric acid). You can get this acid from your hardware store. This is used to clean bricks. Your rock material should be fully emerged in this acid solution. Let this solution stand for about twenty-four hours before proceeding to the next step.

Step #2. Pre-screen your extract into a second cleaned one-gallon pickle jar. Use pre-cut plastic door screen obtained from your local hardware store.

Step #3. Next, filter your pre-screened solution into another cleaned one-gallon pickle jar using a coffee filter. The color of this extract solution should be canary yellow to dark green. The color will depend on your ore source.

Step #4. You will now need to prepare a barium chloride (BaCl2) solution that precipitates uranium from your extract. You will need to purchase the BaCl2 from a chemical supplier. The precipitating solution is prepared by adding BaCl2 crystals to a clean one-gallon pickle jar that is ¼ filled with distilled water. You will add the crystals until they no longer dissolve. More crystals will dissolve if the water is slightly heated. Slowly stir the solution with a plastic stirrer and add the crystals until you obtain a super saturated solution. Be sure to wear safety glasses and rubber gloves when working with chemicals. Another safety rule is to always add chemicals to a solution and never add water to the chemical. This is to avoid possible violent reactions. BaCl2 and H2O do not violently react but it is wise to wear rubber gloves and safety glasses to avoid skin and eye contact respectively. Also, work in a well ventilated area because BaCl2 is hazardous to breathe.

Step #5. You will now slowly add the super saturated BaCl2 solution that you prepared in step #4 to the extracted solution from steps #1 through #3. In a few moments you will begin to see clear crystals forming in the solution. You will keep on adding the agent until the crystals stop forming. Two distinctive layers of crystals will form. My hypothesis is that the lighter top layer is a mixture of U234 and U235. The heavier bottom layer is U238. That, the uranium in the solution forms a double salt with the barium. Therefore both layers are double uranium/barium salts. Further testing by an outside laboratory will need to be done to confirm this theory. *See pages 57-58 in my platinum edition for in depth analysis.

Step #6. Next, you will need to drain off the clear liquid from the top of the crystals. You can save the clear liquid for future extracts. Do not attempt to separate the lighter crystals from the heavier ones. This would violate nuclear regulations by altering the isotope percentages.

Step #7. Finally, you will need to find yourself a cast iron frying pan. Here you will put the crystals into this pan. Now, expose the crystals to intense heat using a propane plumber's torch obtained from your local hardware store. Be sure to perform this step in a well-ventilated area because the crystals bubble and release toxic barium fumes. Do not breathe these fumes! Expose the crystals to the torch flame until there is no more reaction. What you want to end up with is a grayish-brown powdery substance. Let the pan cool before removing the substance. The grayish-brown powdery substance that you have just isolated is not radioactive at this point. It begins to show activity within a few days. It will build up to full activity in about thirty days. The value of my extraction process is that it economically converts low-grade ore into a high-grade ore that evolves radon gas. The material that we end up with from this process can be found in the natural World. This means that the material is exempt from nuclear regulation. If you can find an ore source that has a content of close to 80% uranium or better then my extraction method may not be necessary if you are using it for research purposes. The true value of my process is that it yields a high purity radon emissive oxide that can be used as a natural and economical fuel source to generate electrical power.
