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.

Neutron scattering cross sections were determined experimentally for more than ten elements in the energy region between 8 and 14 MeV. Comprehensive measuring and data analysis methods were elaborated to obtain cross sections with the highest precision presently possible. The experimental procedure was extended in such a way that cross sections of the complete neutron emission spectrum ranging down to the energy of 1.5 MeV could be derived, thus overcoming the problems usually arising when a nonmonoenergetic neutron source is applied. Typical results are selected for discussion and comparison with the results of other authors and with results taken from several libraries of evaluated neutron data.
