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.

The stability of ZrNi and ZrCo to heat cycles in hydrogen atmosphere was studied through changes in absorption-desorption characteristics and in crystallo-graphic structures. ZrCo easily lost its absorption- desorption capacity of hydrogen below 30 heat cycles between room temperature and a given temperature in a range of 400 ∼600 °C. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that ZrCoH3 initially formed decomposed to ZrH2+ ZrCo2. On the other hand, ZrNi was more durable than ZrCo to the similar heat cycles. But, it was found that the absorption-desorption characteristics was degraded by heat cycles over 500. The X-ray analysis showed that ZrNi also dispropor-tionated to ZrH2 and ZrNi3. The difference in the stabilities between the two materials appears to be due to the difference in crystallographic nature upon formation of the respective hydrides.
