Spaceships 2: Heavy Metals $800k, Radioactives $100k?

Yes, that's about right. The supply of radioactives isn't that tight compared to the demand, especially if breeder reactors are used to recycle spent fuel cores. Platinum group metals have been steadily increasing in demand and cost, since they are finding uses in just about everything these days.

On the other hand, I don't know to what extent David's list accounts for the increased availability of platinum group metals from asteroids in a space setting.
