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.

Irregularities in ICF shells need to be characterized in detail. Outside and inside surface, and wall thickness fluctuations are all Raleigh-Taylor unstable and can cause a shell to fail during compression. Until recently we could only detect outside surface profile fluctuations, measured along three mutually perpendicular great circles and displayed as line graphs. Measurements, paths, and display have all been upgraded to improve our ability to see fluctuations. We have added a Wallmapper that can determine thickness along the same paths as the surface profiles. The thickness data can be subtracted from the outer surface profile to give a (low resolution) inner surface profile. We have measured the surface profiles along up to 8 paths, and have displayed these profiles wrapped around the image of a sphere. With sufficient paths, this format gives a sense of the 2-D surface fluctuations on the shell. These additions should help us to understand the nature of shell defects and optimize our production processes.
