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.

We describe a phased start-up plan for the 192-beam line National Ignition Facility, that supports a gradual transition of the present ICF program, based upon the 10 beam Nova laser system to a NIF based ICF program, with all 24 bundles being available for operation in FY04. This plan is based upon a bundle-by-bundle completion of integrated operational test procedures and hand-over to the program for experiments. The early execution of the start-up of one bundle not only provides experimental capability two years before completion of the NIF Project, but its experience will be essential to complete this transition plan in a timely and cost effective way.
