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.

Thomson scattering system based on a ruby laser was applied in the GDT to measure the electron temperature during intense neutral beam injection. The system is capable of measuring the radial profile of electron temperature in the midplane over plasma radii varying from 0 to 12 cm. For this purpose the focusing lens is moved from shot to shot along the laser beam. The scattered light condenser with the polychromator is correspondingly rotated. Angle of scattering is in the range of 86–97 degrees. Thomson scattering system enables measurement of the electron temperature at minimal plasma density of ∼1013 cm−3. The time between shots (about 3 minutes) is long enough to collect, store the data and subsequently calculate the electron temperature. In the paper, the data on radial profiles and temporal behaviour of electron temperature during neutral beam heating at GDT are presented. In the experiments, electron temperatures of the target exceeding 100 eV was observed.
