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.

The boson tendency to clump deuterons in palladium, which is caused by an attractive force, supplies kinetic energy to deuterons moving toward the center of the cluster. On the other hand, repulsive forces between deuterons in the cluster reduce the tendency to clump. The deuteron with kinetic energy determined from these two forces may penetrate the barrier by a tunneling effect at the center of the cluster. In this research, the transmission coefficient and power density generated from cold nuclear fusion are calculated as functions of the number of deuterons included in the cluster. When a nonlinear screened deuteron-deuteron pair potential is used as a repulsion, power densities for clusters that include 24 deuterons are 10.8 W/cm3, which gives good fit to the experimental results of 10 W/cm3 by Fleischmann et al.
