55 gallons of uranium?

Is that worth...what...about $50,000,000?

1 pound of Uranium will make a ball around 1.3 inches in diameter.

A 55-gallon drum is 13,320 cubic inches, enough to hold 10,246 pounds.

A pound of uranium is currently $36.50 a pound. Therefore - if full and of trade quality (both unlikely) - a 55-gallon drum would be worth approximately $374,000.
