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 Omega Upgrade at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics will commence deuterium-tritium (DT) shots in 1995. Omega Upgrade utilizes a 350 nm, 30 kJ laser to energize DT filled targets contained within an evacuated target chamber (TC). Up to 10 DT shots per day are planned, 5 days a week, with each target containing 20 mCi of tritium. Cryopumps, used to achieve high vacuum in the TC and to collect unburnt gases following DT shots, are regenerated on a monthly basis. The Tritium Scrubber System (TSS) has been designed to capture tritium released from the cryopumps, vacuum pump exhaust streams, outgassing from internal surfaces, and in the event of target rupture. A large quantity of low activity gas needs to be processed by the system; the target chamber and diagnostic antechambers will be evacuated up to 8 and 2000 times each month, respectively. The TSS has been designed to interface with existing equipment at the facility. To permit the safe handling of tritium gas products and to comply with emission regulations, modifications are required to the facility to enable the capture of tritiated species from exhaust streams before being released to the atmosphere. The targeted annual tritium emission for the facility is less than 10 mCi. The TSS utilizes zirconium alloy hydride beds and molecular sieve beds to detritiate exhaust streams prior to stacking to satisfy this stringent emission target.
