Uranium prices near lowest level in more than two months
The spot price of uranium at the end of November declined to $75.80 per pound, down from $80.00/lb at the end of October, according to uranium company Cameco. The high-water mark this year was in September, at $82.63/lb. The lowest price of 2025 was at the end of March, at $64.23/lb.
The American Nuclear Society provides statements which reflect the Society's perspectives on issues of public interest that involve various aspects of nuclear science and technology. Position statements are prepared by key members whose relevant experience or publications inform the documents and then the documents are reviewed by ANS committees and divisions. The final position statements are approved by the Board of Directors.
