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.

A general theoretical scheme for the evolution of a general discrete eigenvalue spectrum in a one-dimensional slab geometry neutron transport equation is described. To make a general procedure, we described the consistent scattering kernel. By using this scattering kernel, discrete eigenvalues are computed. Three methods are presented for the calculation of discrete eigenvalues, but the simplest one is chosen for the computation. Numerical results are presented in the tables. Results are discussed and compared with those already obtained using various methods available in the literature.
