When we talk about "burning" it generally means a chemical reaction with oxygen from the air, which produces heat. Nuclear scientists and engineers also talk about "burning" or "burnup" of the nuclear fuel, in this case there is no fire or chemical reaction, so perhaps this is what you have in mind.
