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.

Two types of neutral beam sources have been developed in order to measure plasma parameters on the Hanbit mirror device. The first source is a diagnostic neutral beam (DNB) which consists of a hydrogen neutral beam with a beam energy of 30 keV and a total beam current of ca. 1 A. The ion temperature profile can be determined by measuring directly the broadening of the Hα line emitted from hydrogen neutrals produced through the charge exchange recombination reaction with the DNB in the plasma. A fibre optic array detector, which works as an ideal notching filter, was developed to filter out the intense Hα line emitted from the cold hydrogen atoms in the plasma edge. The second source is a hyperthermal neutral beam (HNB) which consists of neutral particles with an energy of 1-100 eV. The HNB can be used to measure electron temperature and density profiles in the region between the core and the outer edge. This region cannot be covered either by Thomson scattering or by electrostatic probes. The feasibility of obtaining profiles of electron density and temperature by means of a helium HNB with a collisonal radiative equilibrium code has been performed.
