<P> In 1987 , the Brundtland Commission ( WCED ) classified fission reactors that produce more fissile nuclear fuel than they consume ( breeder reactors , and if developed , fusion power ) among conventional renewable energy sources , such as solar and falling water . The American Petroleum Institute likewise does not consider conventional nuclear fission as renewable , but that breeder reactor nuclear fuel is considered renewable and sustainable , and while conventional fission leads to waste streams that remain a concern for millennia , the waste from efficiently burnt up spent fuel requires a more limited storage supervision period of about thousand years . The monitoring and storage of radioactive waste products is also required upon the use of other renewable energy sources , such as geothermal energy . </P>
