If it could be made available, it would cost a fortune. Astatine is man-made and has a half life of only 21days and exists in a special lab container in very small amounts at any time.

As it is a radioactive atom, you most likely need to have a large number of permits to handle/store/buy the atom from anywhere...that being said, there are lots of companies selling nuclear materials that would probably sell it..but at what cost I do not know..

"Astatine has 33 known isotopes, all of which are radioactive..."

Try some nuclear reactor. It is radioactive.
