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.

Experiments with 3 MW D0 injection have been carried out in the Gas Dynamic Trap (GDT) to simulate the axial profile of the fusion reaction intensity in the projecting neutron source based on the GDT1. Quite narrow angular distribution function of the fast ions produced by an oblique neutral beam injection results in a peaked axial profile of the fusion yield. This strong peaking is essential to produce intense neutron flux in the testing zones of the GDT–based neutron source.
The scintillation counters were installed in the central cell of the device to monitor the DD fusion reactions products: neutrons (2.45 MeV) and protons (3.02 MeV). Scintillation detectors were located closely to the plasma column inside of the vacuum vessel to avoid contribution from the scattered neutrons and to improve spatial resolution of the measurements. Longitudinal profiles of 2.45 MeV neutrons and 3.02 MeV protons have been measured in the high-beta regime of the GDT operation.
In the paper the experimental data are compared with the results of numerical simulations 2. The conclusion is drawn that the kinetics of the fast ion relaxation and scattering is determined by classical Coulomb collisions 3.
