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.

Secondary gamma-ray skyshine has been measured at an intense 14 MeV neutron source facility with a Hp-Ge detector used to investigate this mechanism. Many discrete gamma-rays due to (n, γ) reactions were observed in the spectrum. It was confirmed that in the evaluation of the secondary gamma-ray skyshine, a precise spectrum calculation down to thermal neutron is indispensable. On the other hand, there exists only a continuum spectrum up to 8 MeV with no discrete peaks in the real skyshine spectrum from the upper air. It was found that the continuum spectrum is composed of mainly Compton scattered gamma-rays. In the distance dependency measurement, the real skyshine contribution showed slow attenuation compared with the whole skyshine contribution. This means that with increasing distance from the facility the real skyshine contribution is gradually dominant, namely, it becomes more important in the skyshine evaluation.
