If we just used uranium, we would be able to completely replace fossil fuels for 30 years.  Using fast breeder reactors we could 
make it last a little longer, maybe 1000 years at most.  We would also be allowing every country access to weapons grade fuel.
Apart from that, Karl's comments apply many times over.
