Question

Although nuclear energy is considered a cleaner energy source than fossil fuels, some scientists argue this does not support the claim that nuclear energy is renewable. Which of the following claims best supports the argument that nuclear energy is a nonrenewable energy source?
A. Nuclear energy has low carbon emissions and does not contribute to global warming.
B. The uranium deposits on Earth are finite.
C. Nuclear energy is generated by the process of nuclear fission.
D. Nuclear power plants convert water to steam, similar to fossil fuel–burning power plants.

Answer 1

Nuclear energy can be considered a nonrenewable energy source because uranium deposits on Earth are exhaustible.

Nonrenewable resources

Nonrenewable energy or resources are those that are used at a rate that is faster than the rate at which they are naturally replenished.

The source of the world's nuclear energy is uranium deposits, a mineral that is nonrenewable. In other words, the uranium mineral deposit that fuels nuclear reactors can be exhausted one day because they are not replenished naturally.
