Are you wanting to pick up some uranium to keep around the house or use for testing Geiger counters? If so, you may be interested to learn you can order it from Amazon. It's uranium ore, not purified uranium metal, but hey... it's still radioactive and has a customer satisfaction rating of 4 out of 5 stars, so it must be good stuff. Be sure to check out the "Product Reviews" because they are choice. Further down the page you can read the comments left by people who have no sense of humor.
