The waste from nuclear reactors can in principle be reprocessed to extract plutonium, which can be used to fuel nuclear reactors. But this is not "renewable" it is just recycling fuel the reactor made, this process can at best multiply the amount available reactor fuel by roughly 100 times, then we run out.
Only France reprocesses their nuclear waste, other countries have abandoned it largely from the unjustified fear that reprocessed plutonium reactor fuel might be "stolen" to build atomic bombs (normal power reactor generated plutonium has very high levels of the undesired plutonium-240 and plutonium-241 which make it impossible to build working atomic bombs with that plutonium).
What else can I help you with?
Is nuclear power a renewable or non-renewable resource?
Non-renewable
Is nuclear a renewable resource?
yes. It can.
Why is nuclear waste renewable?
Nuclear waste is NOT renewable. It is typically buried and sealed off because of its non-usability and the radiation damage that can afflict people from being in the vicinity of nuclear waste.
Is nuclear ore a renewable resource?
it is nonerenewable!!
How we can use nuclear as a renewable energy resource?
We can't at the moment. Nuclear energy comes from uranium, which is mined in some countries around the world. This is not renewable, so when it's finished, there's no more. Scientists are working on various ways of re-using nuclear waste so that it becomes renewable, or almost renewable, but that problem is yet to be solved.
Is nuclear a renewable energy?
Nuclear fusion is not renewable. It requires hydrogen nuclei as an energy source, and once these have been used in fusion they are not naturally replenished. In fact, fusion power has a very high energy change, rendering it near impossible to reverse the process. A star, for example, is powered by nuclear fusion, and will eventually die out due to a lack of hydrogen.
Is nuclear power a renewable energy resource?
No, nuclear power is not considered a renewable energy resource. It relies on the fission of uranium or plutonium, which are finite resources. Although nuclear power produces electricity without emitting greenhouse gases, its fuel source is not renewable.
What is a non renewable energy resource that cant be burned?
Uranium is a non-renewable energy resource that can't be burned. It is used in nuclear power plants to generate electricity through a process called nuclear fission.
Is nuclear energy renewable or non renewable?
Nuclear energy is classified as a nonrenewable energy source. This is because the nuclear fuel used in power plants (such as uranium or plutonium) is a finite resource that can eventually run out.
Is nuclear a non-renewable resource?
Yes! It uses uranium which is a substance that cant be reused.
What is an example of something that is non-renewable?
Non-renewable resourcesA non-renewable resource is a resource that is being used up faster than it can be replaced by being grown, made or generated. Fossil fuels and nuclear power are non-renewable resources.
Will you run out of paper?
No, paper is a renewable resource. It will not run out if we all use it wisely and do not waste it.
