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.

This paper describes characteristics of end loss electrons (ELE's) from a tandem mirror. Without electron cyclotron resonance heating (plug ECRH), ELE's issue from an ICRF heated hot ion plasma. Their temperature increases with the hot ion diamagnetism. Drag heating of electrons on hot ions balances with axial loss due to Coulomb scattering. Landau damping of an Alfvén ion cyclotron wave is also observed in this phase. On application of the plug ECRH, an intense loss flux of warm electrons is generated The axial heat flow carried by the warm electrons significantly increases. Control of the axial flux of the warm electrons is tried A highly transparent mesh is put up over an end plate and a bias voltage negative to the end plate is applied to the mesh. Then secondary electrons emitted from the end plate are suppressed and the loss flux of the warm electrons decreases to about one third of that without the mesh bias. This reduction factor is much smaller than the value expected from the rate of ion plugging. A possible cause of this is an ion current through a plasma behind the end plate.
