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.

I'm truly baffled as to how you reached this interpretation. Nobody, ever, suggested that reprocessing somehow made the entire mass of spent nuclear fuel fissile. The comment that called it "partially spent fuel" specifically mentioned getting the usable fissile material out (thus implying that there's other material that's not usable). I seriously doubt a significant portion of people reading this are reaching the conclusion that nuclear waste becomes a source of infinite energy.

There's no gaslighting here. I'm not going to assume it's bad faith, but here and in other comments you've shown a remarkable tendency vastly misinterpret comments and then accuse other contributors of being ignorant or acting in bad faith. So in the future, when you read something that appears to you to make an outlandish or blatantly false claim, I'd suggest you ask the commenters to clarify what they mean instead of calling them stupid and trying to refute claims that nobody ever made.
