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.

In the Intense 14 MeV Neutron Source Facility OKTAVIAN of Osaka University, Japan, which produces fusion neutrons by D-T reaction, we have many experience in handling tritium targets and tritiated contaminants. In OKTAVIAN, the transition of tritium concentration in urine and exhaled water of some workers was measured with a liquid scintillation counter for years. Using the measured results between the concentration of tritium in urine and in exhaled water, we have found a simple method to lead excretion parameters in order to estimate the internal exposure dose. The first decreasing term, HTO component, was expressed as a simple exponential function with the measured concentration of HTO in exhaled water. The second and third decreasing terms, OBT component, were expressed as a sum of two exponential functions using the difference between the concentration of HTO in exhaled water and the total tritium concentration in urine in equilibrium. And the excretion function of total tritium in urine can be expressed as a sum of their three exponential decreasing terms. Moreover, without measurements of longer-term, it becomes possible to analyze the longer half-life in OBT component at a short time.
