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.

This paper presents a schematic design of Tritium Fuel Cycle for Muon-Catalyzed Intense Neutron Source (MC INS) capable of producing monochromatic 14 MeV neutrons. Based on the assumption that the fuel mixture should be used in a liquid phase the different approaches are proposed to incorporate a DT cell (synthesizer) into the MC INS facility The estimations of total tritium inventory in ihe MC INS facility are given. The calculations of the DT cell operation temperature regime using the code FLOW 3D are presented. It is shown the capability to remove the thermal energy released in the DT cell of the proposed design. The MC INS design is analyzed from the viewpoint of tritium safety requirements.
