Domestic uranium production is up; prices hold steady
The U.S. Energy Information Administration has released its Domestic Uranium Production Report for the first quarter of 2026. According to the report, U.S. production of uranium concentrate (U3O8) during the first quarter of this year totaled 1,039,075 pounds, representing a 0.4 percent decrease from the fourth quarter of 2025, when U3O8 production totaled 1,043,474 pounds. However, the 2026 first-quarter production was the highest first-quarter production amount recorded since 2015, when 1,154,408 pounds were produced.

Polyethylene (PE) was exposed to tritium gas at about 1 atm pressure. Low density polyethylene (LDPE) was more labeled than high density polyethylene (HDPE) was. Tritium labeling was enhanced at higher temperature. The rate of specific activity of HDPE was 2.5×108 Bq/g atm hr. n-Eicosane was molded to a small spherical shape, and the activity depended on the surface area and the averaged specific activity was 7×107 Bq/g atm hr.
