Because there is only a limited amount of "fissle nuclides" sitting in the ground waiting to be dug up, these are Uranium, Plutonium and Thorium (less common). However we won't be running out soon, 3kg of natural (un-enriched) uranium would power the entire USA for a year. One problem is that quite a lot of uranium is being "shipped" to Iraq in the form of munitions.

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.
