Last month also saw multiple headlines in the US across the nuclear fuel chain. Uranium pricing in the spot market was relatively flat after the significant pullback in February.

The company had targeted a restart in the second half of 2027 to deliver roughly 835 megawatts of nuclear power to Microsoft data centers under a long-term agreement.
Yet PJM Interconnection, the regional grid operator, reports full deliverability could take until 2031.
