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.

Based on the existing experimental data and some successful nuclear models that account for the mechanisms of nuclear reaction and details of nuclear structure, we calculate a set of nuclear reaction data for p + 58,60,61,62,64Ni from threshold energy to 200 MeV, which includes different kinds of reaction cross sections, elastic scattering angular distributions, energy spectra, and the double-differential cross sections of six outgoing light particles. On the whole, the theoretical results are in good accordance with the corresponding experimental data, and some improvements are achieved in comparison with the evaluation data of the ENDF/B6 file.
