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.

Direct numerical simulations in fully three-dimensional geometry have been performed in order to investigate effects of both the parallel flow to the magnetic field lines discarded in the reduced equations and the parallel thermal conductivity on the nonlinear evolution of interchange instability in a low- magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium in the inward-shifted vacuum configuration of the Large Helical Device. As the parallel thermal conductivity becomes larger, the perpendicular velocity of the linear eigenfunction becomes relatively smaller than the parallel velocity, and in the nonlinear phase, the energy of the perpendicular velocity is selectively damped by the viscosity. Consequently, the plasma is finally saturated with flattened pressure profile, finite parallel velocity, and fairly good magnetic flux surfaces.
