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 JT-60U divertor plasmas, deuterium Balmer-series line emission has been measured with a wide-spectral-band spectrometer, which has 92 viewing chords with a ~1cm spatial resolution. Two-dimensional spatial distribution of the Balmer line intensities has been reconstructed using a computer tomography technique (maximum entropy method). In an inner-detached and outer-attached divertor plasma, the intensity of D and D lines were stronger above the strike point in the inner divertor and near the strike point in the outer divertor. The ratio of the D line intensity to the D line intensity was 0.3 - 0.5 above the strike point in the inner divertor and 0 - 0.2 near the strike point in the outer divertor. It suggested that the line emission were attributed to the plasma recombination above the strike point in the inner divertor and the plasma ionization near the strike point in the outer divertor.
