Where could I acquire some enriched uranium?

Question

I need it for scientific research.

Answer 1

As far as I know, in this USA, average-non-nuclear-trained-have nothing to do with the field-not licensed to do anything with nuclear material-common everyday citizen, will NOT have anything close to even smelling like enriched uranium. Simply put, that material is not available to you. Even for scientific reasons, it is not available, except for the top universities, whose personnel would be intensely looked at. Most testing and experimenting with U235 has either been done or the plants haven't bothered with it yet. Without getting into more words of wisdom, forgeet it, you can't have any.

Answer 2

Go work for a facility that does uranium enrichment. If you actually needed it for scientific research, you'd have enrichment equipment available to you.

Answer 3

Try Iran.
