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 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.


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.
