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 neutron source characteristics of the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI)/U.S. Department of Energy collaborative program on fusion neutronics Phase-IIA and -IIB experiments are determined by measuring neutron spectra and various activation rates in the cavity and on the inner surface of the enclosure and the test regions. The analyses are performed by both JAERI and the United States using individual nuclear data and transport codes. The neutron spectra are generally well predicted by both Monte Carlo and Sn calculations in the energy range of 15 MeV to a few kilo-electron-volts, except for energies 10 to 1 MeV. The discrepancies between the measured and the calculated activation rates are within ±10% when recently evaluated nuclear data are used. Through the present investigation, the characteristics of incident neutrons in the test region can be satisfactorily predicted.
