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.

Simultaneous effects of radiation induced defects and gas atoms of various types in the near surface layers of the first wall material of a fusion reactor produced rather intricate pictures of their interaction and diffusion. This work describes our attempt, by using computer simulation methods, to look into He and H interaction reactions with radiation - induced vacancies and interstitial atoms, to determine the more movable defect formations that are responsible for gas migration. More movable mixed helium-vacancy cluster is discovered (H+2V). Reactions of pushing out helium from substitutional position by self - interstitial atom as well as hydrogen by helium atom which has come to it have been discovered. It is shown that the latter reaction pointing out the possible competition between He and H, while occupying vacancy trap, can cause He permeability reduction compared to hydrogen permeability, that is to supposed affect gas porosity formation.
