[NewCandle] further adventures of pixie 23

[Nick Reiter]

Hi Keith,

Ya, agreed, something is plating or depositing.  One correction to the scenario - I went with plan B, which was some commercial uranyl acetate I had on hand (from wayyy back).  The solubility in water of course is lower than the stuff one was supposed to be able to make from the ore, but the ore processing - while it works - was just way too weak, not even giving enough count rate to get a contrast with ambient to begin with.  So the working solution for this experiment was ~.1 to .12M uranyl acetate in distilled water.
