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.

Neutronics calculations were performed for blanket designs using the molten salts Flibe and Flinabe to determine the transmutation rates of constituent elements and the rates of production of other elements. At least from mass balance considerations no free fluorine will be left provided that the recombination reactions with freed Be, Li, Na, and tritium are fast enough. However, more than 95% of the tritium bred will be in the form of TF. In addition, O and N are produced. A REDOX reaction needs to be established to control the TF activities. The Be used for neutron multiplication can be used for the REDOX control to reduce TF to T2. The thermodynamics for the reaction between TF and Be is an important process to be demonstrated.
