Crystalline compounds of enriched uranium (U-235) will be fabricated via recrystallization of commercial compounds (uranyl nitrate and acetate) with a highly enriched uranium standard ("spike") and via reactions of various commercial reagents (mainly aqueous solvents and some organic solvents and solid reagents) with depleted and enriched uranium sources. Compounds are needed to develop a new analytical method.
