Eli5 Will nuclear power run out?

Was wondering about how long nuclear power would be sustainable for. Could we run out of the elements required?
Is there a time line if we shift to all nuclear.

Eventually, nuclear fuel is non renewable. But we’re talking about a fuel source that has accessible energy that would make the entire energy expenditure of mankind to this date completely insignificant. Technically every energy source on earth is non renewable on a long enough timeline. The sun will run out of fuel. The core will cool. Entropy gets us all eventually.
