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 application of radio-frequency (RF) forces to divertor plasma is proposed for the improvement of its relevance to reactors. RF fields are applied at the entrance of closed divertor rooms. Ponderomotive forces sustain high density scrape-off plasma which screens the penetration of neutral atoms into core plasma regions, and create positive electrostatic potential in scrape-off plasma region which suppresses the penetration of impurity ions from divertor rooms. Ponderomotive force for electron is also applied to prevent the upstream flow of cold electrons from divertor rooms to scrape-off regions. Theoretical and numerical studies are summarized.
