> The big lie is calling it waste; "partially spent fuel" is more accurate

Which you doubled down on twice, before backpedalling and claiming you never meant that the *other* 99% of the waste wasn't waste and "partially spent" actually means "has a few leftover dregs that don't make a meaningful difference".

Where did anyone in this comment chain claim that 99% of the material in spent nuclear fuel is reclaimed and reused? Recovering the "few leftover dregs that don't make a meaningful difference" are economically viable when uranium prices are high.

I'm not sure what the point is in continuing to engage with someone responding to what seems to be an entirely imaginary set of comments. Nobody in the thread is making the wild claims you seem to be trying to refute.

Very nice attempt at gaslighting, but claiming it's "partially spent fuel" and that calling it waste is a lie is like claiming shit is "partially eaten food" because you can still see a couple of corn kernels.

It's a very obvious attempt to spread the myth that reprocessing somehow magically makes the entire mass of SNF fissile and will magically make all the fission products go away.
