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.

The adsorption behavior of H2O on Li2O surface was studied by ultra violet photo electron spectroscopy (UPS). Valence-band spectra of Li2O single crystal which was exposed to different pressures of H2O vapor were recorded. After exposure of H2O, variation of the spectra was observed. The observed spectra were interpreted on the basis of ab-initio quantum chemical calculation of the electronic structure of Li2O surface which was covered with –OH. The adsorbate-induced features were assigned as the orbital of surface –OH. The surface condition was varied by Ar ion sputtering and heat treatment under D2 gas. The difference of adsorption behavior of H2O in the surface condition was discussed.
