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.

Rates of the recovery of tritium from a blanket of a fusion reactor with a 1 GWt power are estimated. The recovery methods are a permeation window, a Flibe-He counter-current-extraction tower and a rotational centrifugal flow system. There is high possibility in that the rate-determining step of the permeation window is tritium diffusion in Flibe. The tritium diffusion in liquid Flibe drops is also the dominant process in the counter-current-extraction tower. The determination of the tritium diffusion rate in purified or unpurified Flibe (or actual blanket environment) is a key to estimate the tritium recovery rate accurately.
