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.

Pellet injection with a bent drift tube is considered as one of the flexible methods to have a variety of fueling locations and injection angles in fusion plasma. Since both pellet mass and velocity greatly affect the plasma properties, mass loss and velocity attenuation of the pellet in the drift tube should be evaluated properly. We focused on the impact of the pellet on the tube wall and numerically estimated the mass loss and the velocity attenuation.
