Uranium prices are trading at two-month lows
The end-of-March spot price for uranium was $84.25 per pound, according to uranium fuel provider Cameco. This price is down slightly from the $86.95 of a month before, but about $10 lower than the $94.28 spot price at the end of January.

C.2. Creep Property | Status of Metallic Materials Development for Application in Advanced High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor / Material | doi.org/10.13182/NT84-A33432
Articles are hosted by Taylor and Francis Online.
Materials for high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) application are selected according to their creep behavior. For two alloys—Incoloy-800 used for the live steam tubing of the thorium high-temperature reactor and Inconel-617 evaluated for tubings in advanced HTGRs—creep curves are measured and described by equations. A microstructural interpretation is given. An essential result is that nonstable microstructures determine the creep behavior.
