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.

There is strong evidence that the ICRH applied to the central cell (CC) of Hanbit does not result in complete ionization. Two techniques are being tried in an attempt to improve the degree of ionization. The first of them is ECRH preionization by application of microwave power from one 2-kW CPI klystron at 14 GHz as well as two 1.8-kW VA-806 klystrons at 7.67 GHz and 7.87 GHz. The second technique is production of a reflex discharge using a 76 mm diameter LaB6 cathode heated to incandescence and biased negatively in the cusp end cell of Hanbit. The ECRH preionization has shown beneficial effects on the plasma. There are no results from the reflex discharge.
