Not exactly, the U-235 content decreases as it is used in the reactor, but also some of the U-238 is changed into plutonium, and if the fuel is chemically processed this Pu can be extracted and used in mixed oxide fuel (MOX). I don't call this renewable however, because ultimately the whole series of processes relies on a new supply of uranium which can only be obtained by new mining sources.
