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 accountancy of tritium stored in the Zirconium-Cobalt (ZrCo) bed with 25 g of tritium storage capacity has been investigated by “in-bed” gas flowing calorimetric method for a few years. This type of calorimetry uses the temperature raise of helium (He) gas circulated through a secondary coil line installed in the ZrCo tritide. Recently, the basic calorimetric characteristics was demonstrated well within 1 % accuracy of the ITER requirement using 22 g of tritium under actual storage system conditions, such as hydrogenation-dehydrogenation of tritium, long-term storage (3He accumulation inside of tritide vessel), and DT mixture storage. Based on the experimental data, a 100 g of tritium storage bed (ITER size) was designed and its calorimetric performance was discussed.
