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 4667-second long discharge has been obtained in the ATF torsatron. The total amount of the energy input was 330MJ. The set-up procedures, the control of plasma parameters, and the effect on the wall conditioning for the long pulse discharge are reported in this paper. Fast density feedback control is not useful for a long-pulse operation; control of the neutral pressure on a slower time scale is necessary. Long-pulse discharges are quite effective for wall conditioning. Valuable experiences have been accumulated in the future experiments planned for LHD.
