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 continuous hydrogen isotope separation system using twin beds of metals or alloys is here proposed. The isotope separation system called a twin-bed periodically counter-current flow (TB-PCCF) is analytically and experimentally investigated. Palladium and LaNi4.7Al0.3 were selected based on experimental data of the isotope separation factor and the isotopic exchange rate. Numerical calculations by a plate model revealed effectiveness of the TB-PCCF method which is composed of an enriching column packed with Pd particles and a stripping column packed with LaNi4.7Al0.3 particles. A preliminary experiment was performed at the condition where absorption and desorption cycles are repeated between room temperature and 473K for Pd and 363K for LaNi4.7Al0.3 at the total reflux, and it showed possibility of the hydrogen isotope separation.
