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.

The energy distribution of gamma photons scattered in double photon Compton scattering is measured experimentally for 0.662-MeV incident gamma photons. The two simultaneously emitted gamma quanta are investigated using a slow-fast coincidence technique. The experimental data on energy distribution do not suffer from inherent energy resolution of the gamma detector and confirm the continuous nature of energy spectra for the emitted photons. The present results are in agreement with the current theory of this higher-order process.
