Is kerosene renewable?

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.


Why is urainium a non renewable 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.


What are 3 examples of non renewable resources that can be recycled?

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.


How is uranium and non renewable resources related?

Uranium is also a nonrenewable resource.


Is nuclear power a renewable energy 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.

What makes uranium a non renewable resources?

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.
