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.

Spatial and temporal spectroscopic measurements in the wavelength range from visible to soft X-ray lights are powerful tools for fusion research. We have constructed absolutely calibrated two-dimensional visible-ultraviolet (V/UV, 2500-7000 Å), Vacuum ultraviolet (VUV, 150-1050 Å) and soft X-ray (SX, 20-350Å) spectroscopic measurement systems for quantitative analysis of impurity ion behavior in the tandem mirror GAMMA 10. Carbon, oxygen and nitrogen ions are main impurity ions observed in the GAMMA 10 plasma. Using absolute emissivities of impurity lines and the collisional-radiative model, impurity ion density profiles are obtained. Moreover, we observed the plasma rotation velocity in order to measure the electric field profile by using V/UV spectrograph in the hot ion mode plasma at the first time. Then, the obtained electric field profile in the central cell is almost equal to the result of beam probe measurements.
