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.

Thermal desorption behavior of tritium has been investigated for SS316 and F82H irradiated by 580MeV proton (SINQ-target3) up to 5.0 ~5.9 dpa and 6.3~9.1 dpa, respectively, in order to understand tritium transport in the irradiated materials. While the tritium release has only one peak at 670 K from irradiated SS316, that has two peaks at 510 K and 670 K from irradiated F82H. Those results indicate that only one kind of trap site exists in the SS316, and at least two kinds of trap site exist in F82H. As the results of tritium transport analysis of tritium release behavior, it was found that the trap site at 670 K for SS316 and F82H could be controlled by the same trap mechanism. As to the chemical form of tritium released from the steels, 1/2 and 1/3 of tritium was release as water vapor form from SS316 and F82H, respectively. It could be attributed to the growth of surface oxide on the metal surfaces during the TDS.
