Uranium prices reach highest level since February 2024
The end-of-January spot price for uranium was $94.28 per pound, according to uranium fuel provider Cameco. That was the highest spot price posted by the company since the $95.00 per pound it listed at the end of February 2024. Spot prices during 2025 ranged from a low of $64.23 per pound at the end of March to a high of $82.63 per pound at the end of September.

Monte Carlo calculations have been carried out to determine the fast-neutron dose-rate distributions along the center lines of both a straight and a two-legged square concrete duct for a particularly demanding source geometry. The calculations incorporated doubly differential dose-albedo data for concrete which were previously reported. A comparison of the results of the calculations with those from a geometrically similar experiment shows good agreement, and places on a firm foundation the concept of treating the fast-neutron duct transmission problem as a reflection phenomenon at a point that is describable by the differential albedo properties of the walls.
