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 fully exposed center conductor post (CCP) in a spherical tokamak will receive strong neutron irradiation. The analytical results for a CCP in a spherical tokamak reactor are given considering the irradiation effects such as radiation damage, transmutation, nuclear and resistive heat removal, induced radioactivity and blanket tritium breeding ratio, etc. These results are compared with those for the first wall of conventional tokamaks, assuming the same technical requirements.
