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.

Benchmark experiments on vanadium and vanadium alloy with D-T neutrons have been done at two angles, 0 degrees and 24.9 degrees, using the slab geometry and the time-of-flight (TOF) method. Data were collected for neutron energies ranging from 50 keV to 15 MeV. For vanadium, measurements were made for three slab thicknesses, i.e., 50.8 mm, 1524 mm, and 254 mm, whereas for the vanadium alloy, measurements were made only for 101.6-mm thickness. The measured neutron spectra were compared with MCNP-4A calculations using evaluated nuclear data from the JENDL-3.2, JENDL Fusion-File(IENDL-FF), FENDL/E-1.0 and European Fusion File veraon-3(EFF-3) libraries. The calculated data show reasonable agreement with the measurement, however, some differences are worth noting. Calculations for a slab thickness of 50.8 mm over the energy range from 0.05 to 0.1 MeV underestimate the measurements by about 40% at an angle of 24.9 degrees, while calculations for the energy range from 0.1 to 1.0 MeV, overestimate the measurements by about 40% at an angle of 0 degrees. Calculations made using the JENDL-FF library show good agreement with measurements for energies greater than 11 MeV. Calculations made using the FENDL/E-1.0 library give smaller results than any of the other three libraries in the energy range from 5 to 11 MeV.
