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.

The TPL (Tritium Process Laboratory) at the JAERI (Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute) has been the only facility using over 1 gram of tritium for the fusion research in Japan. The construction of the building and the safety systems was completed until 1985. The operations of the safety systems with tritium have been started from March 1988. The amount of tritium held at the TPL was 19.1 PBq at March 2001. The average tritium concentration in a stream from a stack of the TPL to environment was 2.3x10−5Bq/cm3; and is 1/200 smaller than that of the regulation value for the concentration of HTO in the air. A record for the safety operation of tritium has thus been accumulated. The failure data of several main components of the TPL was also obtained giving valuable data of the tritium operation experience.
