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.

For metal hydride bed disposal, tritium can be exchanged or replaced with deuterium or protium through successive dilution and removal. Analytical expressions are derived to describe the batch isotopic exchange process for metal hydrides with and without isotopic separation by the hydride. For the case without isotopic separation and the hydride being desorbed to the same gas inventory each exchange cycle, simple mathematical expressions are obtained. These equations can be used to estimate the number of exchange cycles needed to reduce the tritium content of a hydride to the desired inventory. Isotopic exchange predictions agreed with experimental results for La-Ni-Al alloys and titanium hydrides.
