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 positive-ion based NBI system for JT-60 began operation in 1986 with hydrogen beam, and had injected the neutral beam power of 27 MW at 75 keV. The beam species has been changed to deuterium through changing the ion sources and beam-line components in 1991. The NBI has injected a deuterium beam of 40 MW at 96 keV in 1996. In 2000, the computer control system for the beam operation has been changed from a mini-computer to a workstation system in order to match a great variety of beam injection parameters, and the operation capability has greatly improved.
