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.

The ratio of hydrogen (minority) to deuterium in the ion cyclotron range of frequency (ICRF) heating experiment has been measured using visible spectroscopy. The large increase in the stored energy during ICRF heating is observed with boronization, compared with titanium gettering, mainly because of the reduction of impurity radiation. The minority ratio, however, is not controllable due to the increase in hydrogen amount. After the electron cyclotron resonance discharge cleaning using deuterium gas the hydrogen amount has been successfully reduced. As a result it has been more effective than He-glow discharge cleaning. When the hydrogen minority decreases, the ion heating is expected. The maximum stored energy is obtained with the minority ratio of 30 % at a line-averaged density of 3.3×1013 cm-3.
