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 low inventory Tritium Purification System (TPS) has just been installed at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL). The TPS was designed specifically for PPPL, based on their specifications for exhaust gases. The generic design, however, can easily be modified to accept a large variety of input conditions. The Princeton system is designed to have a total tritium inventory of approximately 0.5 g while producing pure product streams consisting of H2, D2, and T2. The purpose of the system is to separate and recycle unburnt tritium from the TFTR and to produce hydrogen and deuterium streams that are free of tritium. These streams can be disposed by stacking, thus eliminating the need to create large volume waste streams that are contaminated with tritium and that must be managed for permanent disposal. This paper will discuss the installation, the modifications and preliminary results of operation of this system at Princeton.
