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 dust mobilization in the vacuum vessel under the Loss-of-Vacuum-Accident (LOVA) event was measured quantitatively using the preliminary LOVA apparatus. The particle size distributions in the mobilized dust were characterized and analyzed using a high performance optical-microscope and image analysis software. It was found that around 10% of the initial dust weight was transported upward inside the VV when the breach located at the roof of the VV and an incoming flow from the outside through the breach directly hit the dust. On the other hand, the transported dust weight was less than 1% of the initial dust weight when the breach position was at the side wall of the VV and an incoming flow from the outside indirectly hit the dust. The relationship between the dust mobilization and breach position was clarified from the present experimental results.
