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.

Tritium distributions on the graphite tiles used as plasma facing tiles in divertor tiles, dome units, and the baffle plates of JT-60U were successfully measured. The highest tritium level was found at the top of the dome or the private region and the outer baffle plates, where the plasma did not hit but the distance from the plasma was the shortest. For the divertor tiles, the tritium retention was very small. Such tritium distribution observed in JT-60U tiles can be well explained by the homogeneous implantation of rather high energy tritium and thermal release due to the heat load.
