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.

Dust-air two-phase flow characteristics in a fusion experimental reactor during a loss-of-vacuum-accident (LOVA) event were analyzed numerically by three dimensional simulations using a newly developed thermal-hydraulic analysis code. Physical models on the motion of dust were considered to resolve the dust mobilization conveying by the fluid. Air ingress behavior through a breach at the LOVA event was calculated by using compressible Navier-Stokes equations. It was predicted quantitatively from the results of the present numerical study that the dust mobilization receives strongly the effect of the breach size and the fraction of the mobilized dust is determined by a circulating flow and buoyancy-driven exchange flow which are generated in a vacuum vessel of the fusion experimental reactor after the LOVA event.
