Because uranium atoms disappear by nuclear fission an other nuclear reactions in nuclear reactors.
Uranium 235 is consumed partially during the activity in reactor. The fuel may be recycled to extract the remaininig uranium and plutonium. But it can only do a few times.Then you have other types of reactors but it is not possible to the infinite ! The fuel is exhausted or degraded.
Uranium is not a renewable energy resource however their is enough of it that it counts as an 'Alternative Resource'.
Fossil fuels are a specific type of fuel that is made up of prehistoric animals and plants. This type of fuel is considered finite and non-renewable because they take millions of years to create.
In Germany, uranium is mainly used as fuel in nuclear power plants to generate electricity. The country has a number of nuclear power plants that rely on uranium as the primary fuel source. However, Germany has a plan to phase out nuclear power by 2022 and shift towards renewable energy sources.
non renewable fossil fuel
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.
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.
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.
Uranium is also a nonrenewable resource.
No, nuclear power is not considered a renewable energy resource. It relies on the fission of uranium or plutonium, which are finite resources. Although nuclear power produces electricity without emitting greenhouse gases, its fuel source is not renewable.

Oil, coal, and uranium.
coal oil uranium
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.
synthetic fuel is renewable
no uranium is not renewable
