Uranium prices steady as EIA releases annual market report
The end-of-July spot price for uranium was $86.36 per pound, as reported by Cameco—roughly the same as it has been since February. Analytics firm Trading Economics reported a uranium futures price of $86.60 per pound, a figure that also has been holding steady since early April.
These updates come as the U.S. Energy Information Administration has released its 2025 Uranium Marketing Annual Report, which examines in detail multiple aspects of the U.S. uranium market. Data are derived from answers given in the Uranium Marketing Annual Survey, which collects information on contracts, deliveries (during the past year and projected for the next 10 years), purchased enrichment services, inventories, fuel assembly usage, and market requirements.

In order to simulate carbon deposition profile in the divertor of ITER, long-distance transport in the scrape-off-layer and divertor plasma of carbon and hydrocarbons eroded from the divertor target plates are modeled. Physically eroded carbons dominate a sharp profile on the outer target plate, whereas at the inner target plate, a very small redeposition is observed. Chemically eroded hydrocarbons produce a redeposition on the dome area as well as both inner and outer target plates. Assuming tritium content in the redeposited layers, tritium co-deposition profile on the inner and outer target plates and dome is estimated, which allows us to predict the long-term tritium retention in the divertor of ITER.
