United Nuclear- About Us

Supplying the science hobbyist, industry, government, schools & universities since 1998.
"We specialize in small orders"
About Us & Our Web Site

Purpose
The sole purpose of United Nuclear Scientific Supplies, LLC is to put the "fun" back into science.
Currently, both private and public schools (as well as other learning institutions) are removing chemicals & glassware from their chemistry labs, electronic components from their engineering classes... along with many other important pieces of "hands-on" learning equipment. In exchange, they have students conduct experiments on computer or simply read text instead of actually coming into contact with the equipment & materials they are learning about.
Most professors & teachers we have spoken with completely disagree with this concept.
It is our intention make these and other interesting/scientific related items once again available to the hobbyist, teacher, experimenter, and professional organizations.

Wired Magazine recently did an in-depth article about United Nuclear and how your Government is going to great lengths to make everything from common laboratory glassware to the most basic chemicals found in nature illegal to buy, sell & own. Click Here to read the article.

Company History
United Nuclear was formed in 1986 by Los Alamos scientist, Bob Lazar. Bob had previously worked at Los Alamos National Laboratory ( specifically in the Meson Physics facility ), involved with experiments using the 1/2 mile long Linear Particle Accelerator. After a few years, he eventually decided to break away and start his own company. In the summer of 1986, Bob moved from Los Alamos, New Mexico to Las Vegas, Nevada, and there the new company was formed and named United Nuclear Scientific Supplies, LLC.

Initially, UNSS had only offered design & consulting services, spending most of its time designing, building & repairing radiation detection equipment (under contract) for various national laboratories. At the same point in time, it also produced precision 3D computer animation for several Government agencies and large corporations, as well as devoting a fair amount of time to designing & developing Hydrogen Fuel Systems and small jet & rocket engines.

Over the following years, Bob was hired at a remote area of the Nevada Test Site known as Area 51/S4 to engage in some highly classified research, but managed to keep United Nuclear alive by hiring additional people to make up for his absence. Over time, UNSS gradually expanded in both size and personnel, and in the winter of 1990, Bob returned to devoting his full time to his business.
For 13 years (in his spare time) Bob also produced "Desert Blast", an annual pyrotechnic festival that featured amateur pyrotechnicians, and firework companies from around the world in a weekend-long "no holds barred" firework extravaganza. Desert Blast was routinely covered on TLC (The Learning Channel) and the Discovery Channel.

UNSS eventually moved back to New Mexico and began to devote the bulk of its time and money into obtaining unique & hard-to-find scientific equipment & supplies for sale to learning institutions, as well as the general public. UNSS still designs and repairs radiation detection equipment for various national nuclear laboratories, and is continuing to develop its Hydrogen Fuel System for automotive & home power generation. As always, UNSS is also involved in a large variety of other proprietary & classified projects that it's obligated to keep under wraps.

All work at United Nuclear is conducted on its 5 acre facility, located high up in the Sandia Mountains of New Mexico, about 30 minutes east of Albuquerque..

Stay Tuned... there are some amazing things to come from us in the future.
