(*)   The spot price for 2001 was calculated on the basis of an exceptionally low total volume of only some 330 tU under four transactions.
(**)  ESA’s price method took account of the ESA ‘MAC-3’ new multiannual U₃O₈ price, which includes amended contracts from 2009 onwards.
(***) In 2020, the ESA U3O8 spot price was not calculated because there were not enough transactions (less than 3) to calculate the index.
