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.

All cross sections, energy spectra, and double-differential cross sections of six outgoing particles (neutron, proton, deuteron, triton, 3He, and alpha particle) for the p+90Zr reaction are consistently calculated and analyzed at incident proton energies below 200 MeV by using nuclear theoretical models. The optical model; distorted wave Born approximation theory; the intranuclear cascade model; the exciton model; Hauser-Feshbach theory and the evaporation model; and, especially, the improved Iwamoto-Harada model of light composite particle (deuteron, triton, 3He, and alpha-particle) emission have been included in the calculation, which is in good agreement with the experimental data.
