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.

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.
