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.

Fusion fuel processing systems are expected to rely on multi-column, cryogenic distillation systems for separating hydrogen isotopes. These systems will run continuously and need to respond to feeds varying considerably in both composition and flowrate. These systems will also need to operate with minimal inventories due to the value and safety concerns associated with tritium. These factors result in a clear need for a system of automatic control to maintain the isotope separation system operating properly. Such a system of regulatory (or material balance) controls have been added to the four-column ISS at the Tritium Systems Test Assembly. These controls have been tuned and tested individually. Then the overall system was demonstrated to work successfully. The results of this work is reported in this paper.
