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.

A butt joint method of HTc superconductor has been investigated for a concept of remountable superconducting (SC) magnets infusion reactors. Through numerical analysis of the present study, it is clarified that the degradation of SC tape near the surface had influences on the joint performance. This degradation of SC tape gives the relationship that the resistance in the butt joint increases when the transport current increases in the butt joint. And through the experiment, the optimum stress, which gives the minimum resistance at the joint, is determined for the butt joint of SC cable composed of ten of SC tapes. The joint resistance of a butt cable shows a larger value than predicted from the experiment using a single layer SC tape.
