    You’re still trying to spread the “90% of nuclear waste is recyclable” myth, but now you’ve retreated to the bailey of “getting 10% more energy is technically getting something out of it”.

    Reprocessing yields a small fraction of leftover fissile material. It is in no way characterisable as recycling.

    The strategy is a very boring and tiresome propaganda move that is part of the Duke Energy and Rosatom astroturfing playbook. As is the “who me? I couldn’t possibly be slyly trying to imply nuclear waste is actually fuel” act.

      They never said that it’s 90% recyclable. They said it can be recycled ‘to an extent’. You’re projecting.
