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.

The JT-60SA (Super Advanced) project is a joint project of the ITER Satellite Tokamak program and the National Centralized Tokamak program in Japan with missions of supporting ITER, complementing ITER and exploring advanced issues toward DEMO. JT-60SA is a tokamak with superconducting coils, equipped with a poloidal field coil system with wide plasma shape controllability, upper and lower divertors with different shapes, NBI and ECRF with heating power 41 MW and various heating methods, in-vessel coils for suppressing MHD instabilities. With these functions, possibilities of producing ELMy H-mode with improved confinement, full non-inductive current drive of high beta plasmas (N=3.7 at IP=3.5 MA, N =4.4 at IP=2.4 MA) and break-even class plasmas necessary for accomplishing the mission have been confirmed. The engineering design of JT-60SA is being done taking large annual neutron production into account. Double skin walls filled with borated water or boron doped concrete are employed for the vacuum vessel and cryostat, respectively, for neutron shield. Divertors structures and first walls are being designed so as to be changed with remote handling systems in the high radiation circumference.
