    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.”

      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.

        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.”
