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.

First-order boundary condition perturbation theory is extended to the n'th order in transport theory for eigenvalue problems. In particular, using an unperturbed (known) solution, formalisms are developed to determine the solution to the neutron transport equation when the boundary condition of the system is perturbed. The new method requires the computation of an adjoint Green's function. The numerical solution of this function is discussed. Finally, four numerical examples are provided to verify the validity of the formalisms presented.
