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.

Consistent calculation and analysis of neutron scattering data of 233,235,237U with optical model, semiclassical model including both the unified Hauser-Feshbach theory and the exciton model, the coupled channel theory, and distorted wave Born approximation were carried out in the En 20-MeV energy range based on the experimental data. In particular, the analysis includes the prompt fission neutron spectra and the double-differential cross section for neutron emission. Theoretical calculations are compared with recent experimental data and other evaluated data from ENDF/B-VI release 6 and JENDL-3.3.
