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 boundary source method is an integral method introduced in the late 1960s for solving one-dimensional one-velocity transport problems arising in cell calculations. This method was further developed in various ways since that period and found to be of particular interest for recent applications to nodal transport codes. We have developed a boundary source code in plane geometry that allows for anisotropic scattering of arbitrary high order, and it is the purpose of this paper to display the extreme accuracy of this code, showing hereby that the boundary source method is probably the most accurate transport solution method available today for solving piecewise homogeneous transport problems.
