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.

Deactivation of a hydrophobic Pt/SDBC catalyst for the H2/HTO isotopic exchange reaction used to remove tritium from the waste water generated in a nuclear-fuel reprocessing plant has been studied experimentally. The catalyst was poisoned reversibly by a small amount of HN03 and could be regenerated by washing with water followed by drying in an inert gas. As a countermeasure against this poisoning, the neutralization of the waste water was found to be effective. The presence of I2 in the waste water caused a sharp decrease in the activity of the catalyst, due to the irreversible adsorption of I2 onto the catalyst surface. The I2 poisoning could be prevented by the conversion of I2 into I− or IO3− by neutralization or redox reaction. TBP and the neutral nitrate salts of fission products such as Sr(NO3)2 showed negligible poisoning effects on the catalyst.
