There isn't any shortage now; plenty of known cheap reserves exist. New fuels in upcoming fission reactors like thorium are also very abundant.
Also, breeder reactions can extend the current supply of nuclear fuel effectively indefinitely and reduce the amount of waste to dispose of.
Meanwhile by comparison natural gas supplies are set to peak within two decades and oil production peaked in 2005. Coal won't peak for a while but the most desirable anthracite is already exhausted outside China and Vietnam. Filthy lignite production is twice as high and bitumen is ten times as high.
