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 value of the effective delayed neutron fraction has been measured for a compact loading of the BSR-I by the boron-substitution technique. The value obtained was 0.0080 ± 0.0002. By adopting the value of the true delayed neutron fraction. β = 0.0064 ± 0.0002, measured by Keepin et al., the ratio of the effective delayed-neutron fraction to the true delayed-neutron fraction is found to be 1.25 ± 0.05. When this quantity was computed by a three-group PDQ-code calculation, the result was 1.25, an agreement which suggests the validity of the computational method.
