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.

Inertial Confinement Fusion experiments are conducted in polymer capsule in which nuclear products are located. The polymer capsule is based on polystyrene polymer and are obtained by using a triphasic emulsion process. The capsule characteristics mainly depend on the number average molecular weight, the molecular weight dispersity and finally the atomic composition. It has been shown that the surface quality of capsule is directly connected to the polydispersity index. The best results have been obtained by using polystyrene which exhibited polydispersity index inferior to 1.20. The aim of this study is to develop organometallic polymers by using living radical controlled polymerization process in order to control physical properties and final composition.
