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.

Some variations and extensions of a Fuel Cleanup System based on the combination of palladium diffuser and a vapor electrolysis cell were studied to improve the flexibility to accept broader range of flow rate, gas contents and operation modes. Processing of inert gas - CH4, H2, He2O mixtures in a closed loop showed satisfactory detritiation, with the processing of methane by catalytic steam reforming and oxidation, and electrolytic oxidation. The decomposition of hydrocarbon on the anode side of the ceramic electrolysis cell was tested to study the feasibility as an oxidizer. The zirconia ceramic membrane with Pt electrode are tested with methane at the anode for oxidation, and water vapor on the cathode for reduction. The cell converted methane to carbon dioxide and vapor with high efficiency and simultaneously decomposed water vapor to hydrogen. This application of the cell simplifies the process, and eliminates the use of catalyst and oxygen gas. A versatile fuel cleanup that eliminates most of previos concerns and improves the performance is proposed.
