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.

Acrylate foams have been used extensively in the fabrication of target components for laser experiments. Acrylates are efficient systems especially for photoinitiation processes, however, at very low-density range these foams are not very strong and tend to be fragile. A method for the production of foams produced by free radical co-polymerization of some selected pairs of monomers is described in this paper. Foams produced by the co-polymerization of some pairs of monomers have increased the strength significantly at lower density range. Specifically, the use of 1,1’-(Methylenedi-4,1-phenylene) bis maleimide in the co-polymerization has proved very successful. This study also describes the effect of solvents on foam densities.
