In an attempt to improve U II analysis, the lowest configurations of both parities have been interpreted by means of the Racah-Slater parametric method, using Cowan codes. In the odd parity, including the ground state, 253 levels of the interacting configurations (5) f(3)7s(2) + (5)f(36)d7s +5f(3)6d(2) + 5f(4)7p + 5f(5) are interpreted by 24 free parameters and 64 constrained ones, with a root mean square (rms) deviation of 60 cm(-1). In the even parity, the four known configurations (5)f(4)7s, 5f(4)6d, 5f(2)6d(2)7s, 5f(2)6d7s(2) and the unknown 5f(2)6d(3) form a basis for interpreting 125 levels with a rms deviation of 84 cm(-1). Due to perturbations, the theoretical description of the higher configurations 5f(3)7s7p + 5f(3)6d7p remains unsatisfactory. The known and predicted levels of U II are used for a determination of the partition function. The parametric study led us to a re-investigation of high resolution ultraviolet spectrum of uranium recorded at the Meudon Observatory in the late eighties, of which the analysis was unachieved. In the course of the present study, a number of 451 lines of U II has been classified in the region 2344 - 2955 angstrom. One new level has been established as 5 f(3)6d7p ((4) I) 6K (J = 5.5) at 39113.98 +/- 0.1 cm(-1).
