Question

Does nuclear energy get recycled?

Answer 1

lol my bad i was wrong it can not be recycled

Answer 2

For economic and national security reasons, the United States does not currently recycle used nuclear fuel. After its use once in the reactor, companies remove it for ultimate disposal in a repository. This “once-through” fuel use is called an "open" fuel cycle. The recycling and reuse of nuclear fuel is called a "closed" fuel cycle. This approach would capture the vast amount of energy still remaining in used nuclear fuel.

The federal government plans to evaluate both the open and closed fuel cycles, including the benefits and availability of advanced recycling technologies. The nuclear industry endorses this plan, which could result in long-term environmental and energy security benefits for America.
