I believe the term "fossil fuels" is used for things that burn, in a chemical reaction - like coal and petroleum. Also, "fossil fuels" implies that the fuel is the remainder of fossils - as is believed to be the case with petroleum and coal.

How is uranium used as a fossil fuel?
Uranium is not a fossil fuel; uranium is used as nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors.
Why is uranium not a fuel like the fossil fuels?
Uranium is a fuel. It is not like a fossil fuel in that it is not consumed by burning (rapid oxidation) to produce heat.Uranium is consumed by its radioactive decay. This process releases heat which is used, just like a fossil fuel, to make steam to run power plants. It is consumed much more slowly than is fossil fuels, and it does not release carbon dioxide, sulfur oxides and other gases to the atmosphere when it is consumed. It does create an ash, the spent fuel. Spent uranium fuel does not fly into the air the way fossil fuel ash might if not controlled, but it does have to be disposed of. - Since spent uranium fuel is radioactive, making disposal more difficult.
Which of the following is not a fossil fuel coal natural gas uranium or oil?
Uranium is not a fossil fuel; it is a radioactive metal used as a fuel source in nuclear power plants. The other options - coal, natural gas, and oil - are fossil fuels formed from the decomposition of organic matter over millions of years.
How is uranium 235 and uranium 238 similar?
Uranium-235 and uranium-238 are natural, radioactive isotopes of uranium; they have 92 protons and electrons but the number of neutrons is different: - for 235U: 143 - for 238U: 146
Why is uranium the second most used fuel in the us?
Uranium has some advantages compared with fossil fuels:1. Uranium is an alternative to fossil fuels, especially for countries without reserves of coal, petrol, methane.2. Uranium don't contribute to global warming.3. Uranium don't release carbon dioxide.4. In the future uranium can be extracted from the sea water.
How is uranium used as a fossil fuel?
Uranium is not a fossil fuel; uranium is used as nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors.
Which is not an example of fossil fuel?
Uranium-235, which powers nuclear fission
Why is uranium called a fossil fuel?
Coal, methane gas, oil are fossil fuels; uranium is not a fossil fuel.
How long does it take uranium to become a fossil fuel?
Uranium does not become a fossil fuel because it is a radioactive element used in nuclear power plants to generate electricity. Fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas are formed from organic matter over millions of years through a process called fossilization.
Why use uranium instead of fossil fuel?
Because uranium has no contribution to global warming.

How are uranium and petroleum different?
Petroleum and uranium can be used as fuels.
What is the differences between petroleum and uranium?
Petroleum is a fossil fuel, containing many organic compounds; burning of petroleum release thermal energy. Uranium is a radioactive metal; fission of uranium release a great quantity of nuclear energy.
What is the difference between uranium and petroluem?
Uranium ia a natural metal, a radioactive chemical element. Uranium is used as a nuclear fuel. Petroleum is a complex of organic compounds. Petroleum is a fossil fuel.
Is petroleum an example of fossil fouls?
Petroleum is a example of a fossil fuel.
Is nuclear a fossil fuel and why?
Why did the chicken cross the uranium mine? Cause hes an idiot.
Is cattle fossil fuel?
Cattle are animals. Coal is an example of one fossil fuel.
