Note: The yellowcake name is a remainder of the color and texture of the final product in the past, when it was considered to be ammonium or sodium di-uranate, and was quite un-uniform and unstable, depending on the refining process conditions. The natural uranium, yellowcake, is sold on the uranium market as U3O8. It is then processed into UO2, as required for making fuel rods.

The resulting solution is further refined, filtered and dried to yield the final product called yellowcake, or urania, which is actually brown or black in color. The yellowcake name is a remainder of the color and texture of the final product in the past, when it was considered to be ammonium or sodium di-uranate, and was quite un-uniform and unstable, depending on the refining process conditions. The natural uranium “yellowcake” is sold on the uranium market as U3O8. The yellowcake can then be processed into UO2, for making fuel rods.
Option values of quantity flexibility in nuclear fuel long-term contracts: an application of the least squares Monte Carlo

To the best of the authors knowledge, other than the previous studies by Owen (1984), Trieu, Savage, and Dwyer (1994), Amavilah (1994), Amavilah (1995), and Kahouli (2011), there are no recent papers on the uranium market. These studies analyzed the issues on the uranium supply and demand, for example, price correlation between uranium and other energy sources.
