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.

He+ implantation effects on the Retention behavior of hydrogen isotopes implanted into 35% oxygen-contained boron film was studied by means of SEM, AFM, XPS and TDS. It was found that the D retention for only D2+ implanted film was the highest and it decreased for pre-He+ implanted film and post-He+ implanted film. From the SEM and AFM images, the surface morphology of the oxygen-contained boron film was partly cracked, indicating that B2O3 was formed in the film. From the TDS and XPS results, the defective structure and the formation of B-D-B bond, B-D bond and B-O-D bond were observed by He+ and D2+ implantation, respectively. It was suggested that oxygen was trapped as B-O bond. The reaction with implanted D2+ was preceded in different mechanism.
