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.

Be-copper alloy duplex structures are planed to be used as the structural material of the first wall for ITER. CuCr1Zr0.1 copper alloy is one of the prospective components of such structures. To ensure safety and to solve ecological problems concerning fusion reactor operation it is necessary to have estimations of tritium inventory in the copper alloy CuCr1Zr0.1 and in Be-copper alloy duplex structures.
In this work the results of the following experiments on determination of hydrogen permeation parameters are presented:
• Investigation of hydrogen permeation for beryllium-copper duplex structure. Experiments were carried out in the temperature range from 873 K to 1023 K, at input hydrogen pressures between 102 Pa and 103 Pa.
• Investigation of hydrogen permeation for copper alloy CuCr1Zr0.1 in the temperature range from 723 K to 973 K, at input pressures of hydrogen between 102 and 103 Pa and for samples with different thickness.
