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 method for simultaneously obtaining the two largest eigenvalues and their associated eigenfunctions is demonstrated mathematically and empirically. The method uses estimates of the eigenvalue in two different regions rather than the single estimate traditionally used. The method can be generalized to obtain the several largest eigenfunctions, if those are desired as well. Additionally, it is shown that using multiple estimates of the eigenvalues accelerates the convergence of the eigenfunctions.
