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.

A new type of divertor, a dipole divertor, is described. The dipole divertor is composed of a line dipole and is characterized by a simple configuration and the realization of a double-null separatrix with a small distortion on the equilibrium magnetic surface shape. Various configurations, including a conventional divertor, can also be realized with the basic two current hoops by changing current direction and magnitude. Higher-order multipole divertors such as the quadrupole divertor are also formed by four or more coils. A divertor magnetic field can be further localized in the higher-order multipoles. A possible stabilizing effect through curvature of the field line is discussed.
