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 pseudoline source is realized by using an accelerator-based deuterium-tritium point-neutron source. The pseudoline source is obtained by time averaging of the continuously moving point source or by superposition of the finely distributed point sources. The line source is utilized for fusion blanket neutronics experiments with an annular geometry to simulate a part of a tokamak reactor. The source neutron characteristics are measured for two operational modes for the line source: the continuous and the stepwise modes, with activation foil and NE-213 detectors, respectively. The neutron source characteristic is calculated by a Monte Carlo code to give a source condition for a successive calculational analysis of the annular blanket experiment. The reliability of the Monte Carlo calculation is confirmed by comparison with the measured source characteristics.
