Theoretically, so the utilities get a "friendly" uranium miner, one that is secretly owned by soem utility executives, or mining compnay where the executives can be "influenced" (bribed) by the government.... They hold an auction for X pounds of uranium, with bidding limited to "qualified" buyers - meaning end user utiities, and excluding MOST hedge funds. A few hedge funds are allowed to bid...hedge funds that are influenced by the government. The result is of course lower prices. I would not be surprised if some government (US, Canada, UK, ?) provides 'guidance' about the bidding for off market transactions.
