Crystalline compounds of enriched uranium (U-235) will be fabricated via recrystallization of compounds (uranyl nitrate and acetate) with a highly enriched uranium source and via reactions of various commercial reagents (mainly aqueous solvents and some organic solvents and solid reagents) with depleted and enriched uranium sources. Compounds to be sent to ORNL to support further R and D purposes
