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 problems of the three-dimensional (3D) plasma confinement systems optimization based on choice of a proper topology of the module B lines on magnetic surface is considered. This approach developed in recent years is connected with the fact that in spite of the 3D structure of the confining magnetic field in the stellarator and mirror with quadrupole stabilizers, an essential properties of the equilibrium and the guiding center drift depend mainly on module B distribution on magnetic surfaces. Selecting the system with the “quasisymmetric” distribution of module B one could to avoid or to make weaker unfavourable effects of the 3-D systems: the island structure and large neoclassical transport. The theoretical base for this approach is discussed.
