U prices fall in February, remain relatively high
The end-of-February spot price for uranium was $86.95 per pound—down from last month’s $94.28—which was a two-year high—according to uranium fuel provider Cameco. Though down, this latest spot price is still higher than at any time since the $90.38 that Cameco listed at the end of May 2024.

In GAMMA 10/PDX, divertor simulation studies have been started as a new research plan by using end-loss plasma flux at the end-mirror region. A divertor simulation experimental module (D-module) was installed in the west end-cell. Here we introduce a novel microwave interferometer system with a phase imaging method, and all the crucial components are designed and tested. Finally, we tested the interferometer system using a Teflon plate in substitution for plasma. In order to improve the system accuracy, the phase detection circuit was modified and the phase difference of each channel was verified.
