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.

Opportunities for a triton induced nucleosynthesis program using low energy (0–500 keV) beams from dedicated small accelerators are presented. The program is necessary because the role of tritons in the process of light elements primordial nucleosynthesis, via 4He(t, γ)7Li, 7Li(t, n)9Be and 9Be(t,n)11B reactions, is an important discriminator for the two essential models of the Universe formation: standard (homogeneous) Big Bang model (SM) and inhomogeneous Big Bang model (IM). Some aspects concerning necessary experimental conditions - intense triton beams with high energy resolution, stability and reproducibility are briefly discussed. Accelerating intense triton beams imposes severe safety regulations. The intention to use for such a program the electrostatic accelerator, based on rotating disks-DISKTRON D400-4HVG, of the Bucharest Cyclotron Laboratory is presented. Technical requirements for the tritium systems of the accelerator are discussed in two variants: non-intense (<100 nA on the target) triton beams (tritium inventory up to 10 Ci) and intense (> 1µA on the target) triton beams (tritium inventory up to 11 kCi).
