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 suite of neutron-induced reactions on 241Am, 242gAm, 242mAm, and 243Am has been evaluated for incident neutron energies above the unresolved resonance region and up to 20 MeV. Modern theoretical models and computational techniques were extensively used because of the rather limited experimental information. However, when available, experimental data were used to guide and benchmark the present evaluation work. All evaluation results were formatted and distributed as ENDF data files for possible inclusion in the ENDF/B-VII library.
