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.

Effect of annealing on the transient permeation behavior of deuterium implanted into pure tungsten was investigated. Permeation experiment was carried out with pure tungsten foils (34 mm in diameter, 25 micro-m in thickness, and 99.5% purity) annealed at 1273 K for 3 hours in vacuum and unannealed one. Those permeation characteristics at transient state were analyzed by TMAP4 code. As a result, the feature of the trap site in the unannealed tungsten specimen was revealed that which has about 0.9 eV trap energy and 40ppm-trap density. By the analysis of the permeation behavior through the annealed tungsten, above trap sites disappeared by specimen annealing, and the permeation through annealed tungsten was found to be expressed by simple diffusion equation with the effective diffusion coefficient. However, it may involve the trapping parameter, which is virtually indistinguishable from reduction of diffusion coefficient, in itself.
