Explain whether nuclear power is a renewable or non-renewable energy resource.Hint: Include the word uranium in your answer.

Nuclear power is considered a non-renewable energy resource. The reason for this is that it relies on uranium, which is a naturally occurring element in the earth's crust. Uranium is mined from the ground, similar to how we mine for coal or drill for oil.

The process of generating nuclear power involves using the heat from nuclear fission to produce steam, which then drives a turbine to generate electricity. Nuclear fission is the process of splitting the nucleus of an atom, in this case, uranium atoms, which releases a large amount of energy.

However, uranium is not infinite. There is a limited supply of it on earth and once we've used it all, it's gone. Therefore, while nuclear power is a more sustainable option than fossil fuels in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, it is still not considered a renewable resource because it relies on a finite supply of uranium.
