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.

For ITER, trial fabrications of a superconducting cable for a Toroidal Field coil conductor and jacket sections for a central solenoid conductor were successfully performed. In the radio-frequency heating technology, development of 170 GHz ITER gyrotron has progressed to achieve a 600 kW for 3600 sec operation in JAEA RF test stand. In LHD, long-pulse operations near 1 hour with 1.6 GJ inputs have been achieved with ICH and ECH, and subcooled operations of SC magnets to improve cryogenic stability are scheduled soon. In the ITER Test Blanket Modules project, Japan has a plan to lead a water cooled ceramic breeder blanket concept, and to cooperate with other parties on other blanket concepts, such as, a helium cooled ceramic breeder blanket, a LiPb blanket, a Li/V blanket, and a molten salt blanket. As the Broader Approach activities between Europe and Japan, ITER satellite tokamak, JT-60SA, IFMIF-EVEDA and the International Fusion Energy Research Center programs will start soon in Naka and Rokkasho, respectively. Basic researches on broad areas have been enhanced with collaborations in the Fusion Engineering Network among Japanese universities and research institutes.
