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.

To complete basic configuration for the RF heating scenario in Central Cell of the Hanbit mirror device, a RF amplifier system with a power of 100 kW and frequency range of 1.4 – 4.0 MHz, and a high power RF matching network have been developed in KBSI. The output pulse width of the amplifier ranges from 10 msec to 100 msec and the duty cycle is 100 msec/300 sec. The developed amplifier will be used for plasma production and heating by utilizing the slot antenna and the double-half-turn antenna, respectively.
In this paper, we present the engineering design of the amplifier system and matching network, and experimental results such as power test of amplifier on dummy load, impedance matching test on the double-half-turn antenna in vacuum condition. Also, the first RF launching experiment result with the double-half-turn antenna on the target plasma which is produced by the slot antenna is presented.
