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.

Physical features and possible applications of the trap with rotating plasma are considered. Rotating plasma can be formed by the axis symmetric magnetic trap with radial electrical field. Experimental results on hot hydrogen rotating plasma carried out at the PSP-2 device are briefly described. Rotating plasma with heavy ions is formed by means of cathode sputtering by ion bombardment and further ionization of sputtered atoms by plasma inside the trap. The sources of multicomponent atomic fluxes and plasma flow based on the trap with rotating heavy ion plasma and their applications are considered and discussed. The fan intensive fluxes of accelerated atoms can be used for surface treatment. The another source creates the dense plasma flow leaving out along the magnetic field axis. Sources of such type can be used for space engines and plasma separation process devices by the plasma ICRH method.
