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.

Tokamak dust, the particulate matter generated during operation of a tokamak fusion device, was collected from Tore Supra in December 1999, during the initial phase of the scheduled shutdown for installation of advanced plasma facing components. Surface mass densities of material collected from locations with measured surface area are 1100 mg/m2 at the vessel bottom and 15 mg/m2 on average for all other locations. The specific surface area of dust collected from several locations is nearly uniform with an average value of 1.32 g/m2. Geometric mean diameters of samples from different locations have an average value of 3.0 μm, although geometric standard deviations vary from 1.93 to 4.03. The dust is composed of various quantities of carbon, iron, nickel, silicon, and chromium, among other trace elements.
