Nuclear energy uses Uranium as a fuel, which is scarce. Uranium is even rarer than the fossil fuels which we've been using for many hundred years. The supply of Uranium is expected to last only for the next 30 to 60 years(depending on the actual demand). Therefore nuclear energy is NOT a renewable resource
