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.

Neutral atom transport in the edge region of fusion plasmas is characterized by extreme geometrical complexity, mean-free-paths that vary from millimetres to metres over short distances, and many orders of magnitude variation in atom density. We have proposed and are developing an interface current integral transport method as a more practical alternative to the Monte Carlo method, which is currently used for such calculations. This particular formulation of interface current methodology is described, the accuracy of the several approximations that are made in implementing the methodology are evaluated by comparison with Monte Carlo, and correction factors and extensions of the methodology, which improve accuracy, are presented. The results are formulated so as to be generally applicable to any neutral particle transport application.
