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.

An RF plasma source has been designed and constructed for a compact neutron generator. The generation of neutrons is based on the D-D/D-T fusion reactions, producing 2.5/14.1MeV neutrons, respectively. The neutron yield of this device depends on the density of D or T monoatomic beams, which can be extracted from low-pressure high-density plasma sources, especially RF-driven plasma sources, such as an ICP (inductively coupled plasma) or a Helicon plasma source. In this presentation, the design of an ICP source with mirror field has been performed arranging targets in coaxial geometry. Plasma targets without any solid target as well as solid targets are arranged in this design for the comparison study and the effects of the mirror field on the plasma properties will be evaluated.
