Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Unlike a process that burns fossil fuels or coal, the process of producing nuclear energy does not burn the fuel.

No, it is false that when used as an energy source in a nuclear power plant, uranium is burned in a similar way as one would burn wood or coal for energy, since nuclear energy comes from an entirely different process.
