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.

Target concepts for the National Ignition Facility (NIF) require progress in the art and science of target fabrication. Three distinct issues are addressed in the work being described in this paper. They are (1) beryllium fuel capsules, (2) foam-buffered direct drive, and (3) high density gas-filled hohlraums. In all cases experiments on the existing Nova laser at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory are either in progress or planned for the near future to test the various concepts. Consequently target fabrication must be able to deliver targets appropriate for each.
