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.

Evidence suggests that turbulent mixing may affect the energy transport through the vapor shield (VS) formed during a tokamak disruption. The VS is first found to be very unstable according to the Rayleigh-Taylor stability criteria. Adding beam mass to the vaporized material and then mixing of the entire VS is found to cause a significant increase in energy transport through the VS for fusion reactor disruption-relevant energy beams. Mixing the VS for electrothermal gun-relevant energy beams can also affect the energy transport rate, depending on the source species used.
