Spin-orbit configuration interaction ({\it{SO-CI}}) continues to be a valuable electronic structure tool in understanding the electronic states of small actinide containing molecules.$\mathrm{<mrow\; data-mjx-texclass="ORD">[1]</mrow>}$ Recent interest has a variation of a familiar actinide molecule, UO$\mathrm{<mrow\; data-mjx-texclass="ORD">2</mrow><mrow\; data-mjx-texclass="ORD">+</mrow>}$. The additional electron would appear to be a simple alteration or perturbation to an understood system, but experimentally it presents some questions for theory to investigate. Principal questions involve characterization of the lowest electronic states in UO$\mathrm{<mrow\; data-mjx-texclass="ORD">2</mrow><mrow\; data-mjx-texclass="ORD">+</mrow>}$ involves occupation of the either the 5f or the 5f non-bonding orbitals and some simple excitation generates a multitude of electronic states. Use of self-consistent field with improved virtual orbital calculations ({\it{SCF}}) will again be the foundation of the {\it{SO-CISD}} determination of the potential energy surfaces ({\it{PES}}) of the ground and low lying excited states of the UO$\mathrm{<mrow\; data-mjx-texclass="ORD">2</mrow><mrow\; data-mjx-texclass="ORD">+</mrow>}$ molecule. {\it{PES}} evaluation will occur along the internal coordinates of $rUO$ and $\theta \angle OUO$, and will be variationally fit to determine bound vibrational levels present within the ground and low-lying excited states. Vibrational and electronic energy levels should help clarify and describe new and interesting spectra and other properties. $\mathrm{<mrow\; data-mjx-texclass="ORD">[1]</mrow>}$Gibson, J.
