I don’t think that’s right. The page clearly states “Nuclear reprocessing is the chemical separation of fission products and actinides from spent nuclear fuel.”
But yes please try to convince me and the readers. That’s how discussion work.
“3% of the mass consists of fission products of 235U and 239Pu (also indirect products in the decay chain); these are considered radioactive waste or may be separated further for various industrial and medical uses.”
Nuclear weapons are not spent fuel.
No but during nuclear waste recycling weapons-grade material can be produced, that’s why it’s a nuclear proliferation concern.

These are literal nuclear weapons and waste from refining to make them. It literally sits in a parking lot in Tennessee

You’re still missing the point but I’m not going to try to convince you that plutonium isn’t a spent fuel if you believe that.
