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.

Calibration of an up-down type Mach probe is performed using a fast-flowing plasma produced by a magneto-plasma-dynamic arcjet. Mach probe data are compared with ion acoustic Mach numbers Mi, which are calculated using a plasma flow velocity Up and an ion temperature Ti measured by spectroscopy and electron temperature Te by Langmuir probe. The obtained data are also compared with Hutchinson's PIC simulation results in an unmagnetized plasma and are in good agreement with each other. First attempts to measure plasma flow field using a Mach probe are performed at the open-end section in GAMMA10. It is found that Mi at r=0 is more than 2, namely a supersonic plasma flow is formed in the end-cell region.
