Uranium prices rise in August. Could they top $100/lb next year?
Canadian uranium provider Cameco calculated an end-of-August spot price for uranium of $75.13—up from the previous month’s spot price of $71.10. Cameco continues to list a long-term price of $81.00 for August and has set it at $80.00 or $81.00 all year.

An overview is presented of the current activities within the international consortium participating in the Three Mile Island Unit 2 (TMI-2) Analysis Exercise, which is part of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development Nuclear Energy Agency/U.S. Department of Energy Joint Task Group program on TMI-2, formed to utilize the TMI-2 accident as a benchmark for severe accident computer codes. The participants have utilized various state-of-the-art severe core damage analysis computer codes to simulate the TMI-2 accident. The results of the analyses, although qualitatively similar, are quantitatively quite different. This indicates that continued development of these codes is desirable.
