The diagram illustrates the process by which
uranium
is used to produce nuclear power.
Overall
, there are six stages that introduce it from ground to waste. Primarily,
uranium
is extracted from the ground by a mining mechanism. When the process is completed,
uranium
ore is found, converted, and enriched to produce
fuel
pellets of U-235, which are more practical to use than the mined ones.
Lastly
,
fuel
is introduced into power plants, where it begins the process of
uranium
fission,
then
powers the generators, and
thus
electricity is generated and distributed. After a period of four years, the
fuel
has been consumed and removed, and there are a number of fuels that can’t be recycled and directed into containers and become waste;
however
, there is a quantity of
fuel
that can be reprocessed and
generates
Correct subject-verb agreement
generate

more electricity.
Therefore
, nuclear energy can be considered renewable as
uranium
can be
re-used
Correct your spelling

and increase power generation; meanwhile, not all pellets can be re-processed and have to be destroyed.
