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.

Why might the use of wind energy be a better resource than hydroelectric nuclear coal natural gas and petroleum?

Because wind energy is reusable and never runs out and does not harm the planet.


What are types of non reusable energy?

Non-renewable energy sources include fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas, as well as nuclear energy. These sources are finite and contribute to environmental degradation through carbon emissions and pollution.


Is wind energy reusable?

No, reusable is not the same as renewable. When a wind passes through a wind turbine it loses energy, so that mass of air has to regain energy before it can be used again.


Is geothermal power reusable?

All power (or equivalently energy) is reusable. The problem is keeping it in a form that can be easily reused.


Is fusion nuclear energy or chemical energy?

Is fission nuclear energy chemical energy or mechanical energy?

Nuclear fission is a type of nuclear reaction that converts nuclear energy into thermal energy (heat), which can then be used to generate mechanical energy (such as electricity). So, fission nuclear energy originates as nuclear energy and can be converted into mechanical energy.


What energy is the energy that is stored in an atoms nucleus?

The energy stored in an atom's nucleus is nuclear energy. This energy is released through processes like nuclear fusion or fission, which involve manipulating the nucleus of an atom to release large amounts of energy.
