This is probably not an appropriate answer, but there's no permanent way to dispose of it's highly toxic waste. Answer Actually, I think the above is an appropriate answer. But there is also the issue that there is a limited supply of fuel sources. Even if thorium is used, which would give us a supply big enough to last thousands of years, the supply will eventually run out.
That's one of the possible reasons, but nuclear fission and fusion both highly depends on uranium, and uranium is a non-renewable resource, therefore, nuclear energy is not a form of sustainable energy because it can run out in the future.

Is nuclear a form of potential and nuclear energy?
yes it is!;)
Is coal energy a sustainable form of energy?
At the rate at which coal is being used curently, it is not.
Is atoms splitting a form of nuclear energy?
Yes it is called nuclear fission and it does form energy. Hence the radioactive bombs.
What form of energy does uranium represent?
Nuclear energy
How is nuclear energy sustainable?
nuclear energy is produced by taking advantage of natural decay in large nuclei of atoms. atoms with large enough nuclei can only be produced by very large scale nuclear fusion such as stars during a supernova, and making it on earth would take enormous amounts of energy. So no, nuclear energy is not totally sustainable, but a small amount of fuel lasts a long time. For this reason energy can be stored by scientifically making large nuclei atoms and utilizing them later.
Is Nuclear energy the only truly sustainable form of energy for the future of Australia?
Please help! I need this answer by Tuesday!! For extended responses!!!-for geography!!-phs
Is nuclear energy renuable?
No, nuclear energy is not renewable nor sustainable. For nuclear fission to work, it requires a special type (isotope) of uranium. There is a finite amount of uranium on the planet, therefore this is not renewable. Also, the nuclear waste produced is not sustainable. An example of renewable energy would be a wind turbine.
Is nuclear energy sustainable?
So long as there is a supply of fuel, yes.
Is not a sustainable form of energy production?
Fossil fuels
What form of energy is nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is a form unto itself. But please see the related question linked below.
Is a nuclear reaction a form of nuclear energy?
Yes.
Is nuclear a form of potential and nuclear energy?
yes it is!;)
How do you use nuclear energy in a sentence?
Nuclear energy is obtained by the fissioning of nuclei of uranium235, in a controlled chain reaction in a nuclear reactor, which produces heat that can be converted to electricity by normal power plant methods.
What form of energy does nuclear fission release?
Nuclear binding energy is released mostly as heat energy.
Is coal energy a sustainable form of energy?
At the rate at which coal is being used curently, it is not.
Is atoms splitting a form of nuclear energy?
Yes it is called nuclear fission and it does form energy. Hence the radioactive bombs.
What is the SONE Nuclear organization supporting?
SONE stands for Supporters Of Nuclear Energy. They are an organization that want to promote nuclear energy as not only an acceptable means of energy production, but a necessary one in order to face the future energy demands of the world. They feel nuclear energy would help developed countries to keep a sustainable economy.
