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 postmortem analysis of samples of deactivated SAES St707 getter particles recovered from a glove box purification system was conducted to determine the cause for deactivation and eventual hydrogen capacity loss. Unused and used .getter samples were investigated by Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES) and Mossbauer Transmission Spectroscopy (MTS) of 57Fe. Hydrogen absorption isotherms were measured to determine the extent of the hydrogen capacity loss, and the total impurity (0,N) loading levels were determined by vacuum fusion mass spectrometry. The effect of common gaseous impurities on the tritium-removal characteristics was investigated to determine the nature of impurity-getter interaction for different impurities. Hydrogen capacity loss observed in the purifier was found to be due to bulk nitriding, probably due to irreversible transformation of intermetallic Laves-phase Zr(Fe,V)2 to Zr4Fe2 (O,N)x. The temporary getter deactivation observed during operation of the purifier may have been caused by impurities such as CO, CO2 and volatile organics. Metallic Fe (considered to be responsible for dissociative chemisorption of H2) was found only on unused samples. A gradual loss of metallic Fe from the getter surface could also have contributed to getter deactivation.
