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.

Superpermeable membranes based on Group Va metals can be applied in fusion devices for a short way separation of D/T mixtures from He, for an active control of particle fluxes and as a general-purpose D/T pump that may be used in particularly in tritium handling systems. Superpermeable membranes being used for D/T separation from helium are able to drastically reduce the tritium load on the He pump (cryopump), while tritium accumulation in the membrane itself does not exceed a few g for a machine of ITER scale. A possible way to decrease the tritium inventory in the membrane is to combine a higher dissociative barrier at the upstream surface with the operation at higher temperature. Compression of permeating D/T attainable with superpermeable membranes is totally determined by the sticking coefficient of thermal hydrogen molecules at the upstream surface. The degree of compression has a significant effect on the tritium inventory and the inventory dependence on the state of the downstream surface.1 Permanent address: Bonch-Bruyevich University, 61 Moika, St. Petersburg 191186, Russia
