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.

The principle of the traveling wave direct energy converter is introduced. The mechanism is understood as a combination of the traveling wave tube and the linear accelerator. Hardware of the traveling wave direct energy converter is also introduced. It becomes obvious that the applied engineering and materials are conventional. The traveling wave direct energy converter is studied numerically. Self-excitation in a transmission circuit has been verified and optimized geometry is obtained with one-dimensional calculations. For a case of ARTEMIS, 69.8 % of overall conversion efficiency was obtained. Experiments on traveling wave direct converter have been carried out. Self-excitation of a traveling wave has been observed. As conclusions, a traveling wave direct energy converter appears promising to apply to an open magnetic system with D-3He fusion fuels.
