Uranium can be "recharged" from isotope 238 to isotope 235 but it is an expensive process and it is more economical to mine more since Uranium is about as common as Tin in the earth's crust. Depleted Uranium (238) is an extremely dense metal and has found its way into a few (mostly military) applications such as certain modern tank armor and special armor piercing bullets. This is the only practical way of "reusing" Uranium.
