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.

Two different numerical procedures are suggested for evaluating a previous analytic result for the scalar flux for the pencil beam problem with screened Rutherford scattering. The first of these is an asymptotic evaluation of a divergent integral, and the second is based upon an asymptotic expansion method due to Molière. Both are relatively simple algorithms, and comparisons with each other and with benchmark Monte Carlo results are given to establish the accuracy of each.
