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.

Sorption behavior of tritium to isotropic graphite is discussed including solubility, diffusivity in the bulk of isotropic graphite and sorption capacity of hydrogen isotopes on the surface of isotropic graphite. The solubility and the diffusion coefficient of hydrogen isotopes in the graphite are obtained using the breakthrough method in the temperature range of 673–1273K and the activation energy of diffusivity is about 100kJ/mol. The sorption capacity of tritium on the graphite surface is also obtained by the breakthrough method using tritiated water in nitrogen gas flow. Tritium is captured on the graphite surface by isotope exchange reaction between tritium in gas flow and hydrogen in hydroxyl group on the graphite surface.These hydrogen atoms in hydroxyl group can easily exchange with other hydrogen isotopes in gas flow though they cannot be easily released from the graphite by drying or evacuating.
