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.

Various types of transport barriers have been studied in the Compact Helical System. In addition to the neoclassical transport barrier, the edge transport barrier (H-mode) was studied using the high-power heating of two coinjection neutral beam injections. A density pedestal is formed after the transition that is indicated by the drop of H emission signal. The heating power threshold for the transition was investigated by varying the heating power. Its dependence on the density and the magnetic field is close to the H-mode scaling obtained in tokamaks. The dependence of the power threshold on the magnetic field configuration was also found. Local density fluctuation was measured with beam emission spectroscopy, which observed harmonic oscillations appearing after the density pedestal was formed. For L-mode plasma, long-distance coherence of the potential fluctuations were measured with two sets of heavy ion beam probes (HIBPs). Those coherent modes are supposed to be the geodesic acoustic mode part of zonal flow. Turbulent particle flux was also measured with HIBP, and its change with internal transport barrier formation is demonstrated.
