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.

An integrated zero-dimensional plasma-control code, ASH, has been developed and employed to study the possibility of controlling the burn condition of a fusion reactor of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor type by modulating the refueling rate. A constant-gain proportional feedback controller is synthesized; the values of feedback gains are obtained by either pole placement or an design. Compared with the use of modulated auxiliary heating alone, modulation of the refueling rate can provide important additional leverage in tokamak burn control. A key feature of this system is the incorporation of robust control theory to allow for modeling uncertainties.
