Uranium is a non-renewable fuel. The earth has a limited supply of this mineral. Uranium ore is mined, then refined for use in power plants. It can not be put back. The earth is not creating more uranium. As with any non-renewable fuel, we should be concern about the supply. If additional quantities are discovered, the uranium that is known to us, can increase. See related link on abundance of uranium and other minerals.

Is kerosene renewable?
Yes However some consider uranium as a fossil fuel for being extracted through mining and in the mean time they consider nuclear energy (using uranium as its fuel) is rebewable energy source for the possibility of producing more fuel (through breeders) than the consumed fissile fuel.
Does diesel fuel come from renewable energy source?
No! Diesel is a product of hydrocarbons, which deposits are limited and therefore not renewable energy source.

What type of resource is gas?

Gas - Matter State, for example air, nitrogen, etc... wouldn't particularly be related to renewable/non-renewable resources.
What are 3 examples of non renewable resources that can be recycled?
Aluminum: While aluminum is a non-renewable resource, it can be recycled indefinitely without losing its quality or properties. Lead-acid batteries: These batteries are non-renewable but are recyclable, with the lead and other components being reused in new batteries. Uranium: Although uranium is a non-renewable resource used for nuclear energy, spent nuclear fuel can be reprocessed to extract usable material like plutonium for fuel.
