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 describes removal and control of tritium of liquid lithium (Li) target for IFMIF. To produce intense neutrons, 40 MeV deuteron beam with a current of 250 mA is injected into a liquid Li flow with a speed of 20 m/s. D-Li reaction produces tritium with a production rate of 7 g/y. Tritium in Li is removed by a hot trap with an yttrium getter and controlled less than 0.65 appm. As an option, a swamping method with a cold trap is investigated.
