This is probably not an appropriate answer, but there's no permanent way to dispose of it's highly toxic waste. Answer Actually, I think the above is an appropriate answer. But there is also the issue that there is a limited supply of fuel sources. Even if thorium is used, which would give us a supply big enough to last thousands of years, the supply will eventually run out.

That's one of the possible reasons, but nuclear fission and fusion both highly depends on uranium, and uranium is a non-renewable resource, therefore, nuclear energy is not a form of sustainable energy because it can run out in the future.

Is nuclear energy renuable?

No, nuclear energy is not renewable nor sustainable. For nuclear fission to work, it requires a special type (isotope) of uranium. There is a finite amount of uranium on the planet, therefore this is not renewable. Also, the nuclear waste produced is not sustainable. An example of renewable energy would be a wind turbine.


Is nuclear energy sustainable?

So long as there is a supply of fuel, yes.

Is nuclear a form of potential and nuclear energy?

Nuclear energy is a form of potential energy that is stored in the nucleus of an atom. When atoms are split in a process called nuclear fission, a large amount of energy is released, which can be harnessed to generate electricity in nuclear power plants.


Is gas a form of nuclear energy?

No, it has chemical energy


How do you use nuclear energy in a sentence?

Nuclear energy is obtained by the fissioning of nuclei of uranium235, in a controlled chain reaction in a nuclear reactor, which produces heat that can be converted to electricity by normal power plant methods.
