Nuclear reprocessing is the chemical separation of fission products and actinides from spent nuclear fuel.

Did you even read what I wrote before?

Like I said below, it’s basically recycling, which also doesn’t make the waste disappear. I’m with you on this one, but you also did ask how reprocessing works, so there’s that.

My question was specifically how reprocessing the stuff other than fuel would work. And it was a rhetorical question because it obviously doesn't.

I live within two hours of a decommissioned nuclear power plant and 10 seconds of a sink.
