Uranium is a ubiquitous element-- a little is found in nearly every natural occurring materials, and it is concentrated in many different geologic environments. Thus, uranium differs markedly from the fossil fuels both in its occurrence and how its resources can be assessed. On the one hand uranium behaves like other metals in its occurrences. On the other hand, as a fuel it is like the hydrocarbons in that it is a non-recyclable resources. In addition, uranium occurs in two isotopes that potential may supply energy-- U235 and U238. Present only 0.7% of natural uranium. New technology is being developed to utilize the more abundant isotope U238. Consequently, the U238 obtained from uranium ores that have already been mined and processed (which is now stockpiled) is a resource that may be used in the future.
