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.

Refinements to consequence modelling for hypothetical accidents in Fusion Power Plants have been explored. This leads to improved accuracy and a reduction in some of the conservatism inherent in previous calculations. Assumptions made in previous analyses for the Safety and Environmental Assessment of Fusion Power (SEAFP) are examined, with particular emphasis given to aerosol modelling within the containment and dispersion and dose calculations. By employing a more realistic treatment of the time dependence in the aerosol model and introducing a procedure for accounting for the effects of wind meander, it is shown how to obtain results which may be used to adjust previously derived dose estimates. Further analysis assesses the possibility of aerosol particle removal by filtering in cracks in the containment barriers, as material leaks into the environment. The potential for mitigation by this mechanism has been neglected in previous calculations.
