Nuclear fission may do, though with fast breeder reactors we could make use of the large amount of Uranium 238 which is not useful at present, as we only use the U235 in the present type of reactors.
In the long term (probably 100 years or so) nuclear fusion may be usable, and this really would extend nuclear power for thousands of years.

Does fire have nuclear energy?
No, fire is chemical energy not nuclear
What can nuclear energy become?
Nuclear waste. Consumable Energy. Heat.
How do you use nuclear energy in a sentence?
Nuclear energy is obtained by the fissioning of nuclei of uranium235, in a controlled chain reaction in a nuclear reactor, which produces heat that can be converted to electricity by normal power plant methods.
What is a limiting factor for using nuclear energy?
There are quite a few limiting factors for using nuclear energy. Nuclear energy is very expensive to produce for example.
How does nuclear energy help with robots?
No, nuclear energy is only used to make electricity
If something is nuclear power does it run out of energy?
Nuclear fuel does eventually run out of energy, yes.
Why is a power plant an example of nuclear energy?
There are different types of "power plant". Some run on nuclear energy, others don't.
Is nuclear energy renewable or non renewable?
Nuclear energy is classified as a nonrenewable energy source. This is because the nuclear fuel used in power plants (such as uranium or plutonium) is a finite resource that can eventually run out.
Does Nuclear Energy make sense for the environment?
A well built and run nuclear plant has virtually no effect on the environment
What do nuclear power companies do?
They generate electrical energy from nuclear energy, and then distribute it through wires to your house, where it can be used to run your lights, your TV, and your electric can-opener.
What businesses use nuclear energy?
Nuclear fission refers to the splitting of an atomic nucleus. It occurs naturally and can be induced in order to release energy. Nuclear fission provides the energy released by nuclear weapons as well as the energy used to produce energy at nuclear power plants.
Can the sun ever run out of energy?
YES
What energy is the energy that is stored in an atoms nucleus?
If it is stored in the nucleus, it must be nuclear energy.
What was Niall Horan's x factor number?
Nuclear energy is non renewable energy because it would eventually run out.
Do any power plant today run run on nuclear fusion why or why not?
No, because the highest amount of energy needed in a nuclear fusion is 40,000,000 K, which is only known to occur on the sun.
Nuclear energy is energy?
Yes, nuclear energy is energy.
WHAT DOES RENEWABLE AND NONRENEWABLE RESOURCES MEAN?
Non renewable energy is energy that you will soon run out on. For exemple Nuclear energy. Renewable energy is energy that you can kept on using and it will never run out! For example Solar energy, Biomass and Wind turbines. These are only a few!
