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.

Millimeter-scale shock tubes with precision-machined submillimeter features have been developed for hydrodynamic instability experiments conducted on the Nova laser facility. We will describe two specific designs: a silica aerogel tracer disk and an aluminum-doped epoxy tracer strip, both embedded in the shock-tube target. These unique features facilitate radiographic imaging of key phenomena of interest. We describe in detail the construction and characterization of the miniature targets, including the fabrication and emplacement of the radiographic tracers. A sample of the experimental data is presented.
