Detailed explanation-2: -’Renewable’ energy refers to energy from sources that are constantly replenished-like the water for hydroelectric dams that is topped up by the rain, or the sunlight that reappears every day for solar panels. Because nuclear power uses up radioactive fuel, it is not renewable in the same way.
