sLsLL
3L 2s<3/2> (sometimes called uranian), is a fifth-repeating MOS scale. The notation "<3/2>" means the period of the MOS is 3/2, disambiguating it from octave-repeating 3L 2s.
Because uranian is a fifth-repeating scale, each tone has a 3/2 perfect fifth above it. The scale has three major chords and two minor chords, all voiced so that the third of the triad is an octave higher, a tenth. Uranian also has two harmonic 7th chords.
Basic uranian is in 8edf, which is a very good fifth-based equal temperament similar to 88cET.
Temperaments
The most basic rank-2 temperament interpretation of uranian is semiwolf, which has 4:7:10 chords spelled root-(p+1g)-(3p-2g) (p = 3/2, g = the approximate 7/6). The name "semiwolf" comes from two 7/6 generators approximating a 27/20 wolf fourth.

Notation
Since 1-7/4-5/2 is fifth-equivalent to a tone cluster of 1-10/9-7/6, it is more convenient to notate uranian scales as repeating at multiple fifths. This way, 7/4 is its own pitch class, distinct from 7/6. Notating this way produces a major ninth which is the Aeolian mode of Annapolis[6L 4s]:
