Uranium prices rise to highest level in more than two months
Analyst firm Trading Economics posted a uranium futures value of about $82.00 per pound on January 5—the highest futures value in more than two months.
In late October, it had listed a futures price of about $82.30/lb. By late November, the price had fallen to under $76.00/lb.

The ENDF/B-V differential cross sections for neutron scattering from natural carbon below 2 MeV, recommended as standards for measurements and based on an R matrix analysis for 12C using natural carbon data, are revised to include 13C resonances for high-resolution applications. The recommended 13C cross sections are also based on an R matrix analysis of the available data. The 0.1529- and 1.736-MeV resonances rise above the natural carbon background by 7 and 1%, respectively. The angular distributions of the elastically scattered neutrons from 13C are generated by the R matrix theory. The final recommended cross sections and Legendre coefficients of angular distributions for natural carbon, adopted for ENDF/B-VI, are tabulated.
