    Reprocess it, salvage useful isotopes for known uses, keep a few others for research purposes, don’t put it too far away because most of it could be useful in the future.

        France literally does that. They reprocess 96% all of their used fuel back into usable fuel and useful materials.

          The number is false. You make a confusion between what could be recycled and what is actually recycled. And MOX is not a good option (expensive, 1 cycle, toxicity).

          • Economically it’s not interesting
          • It’s one cycle only
          • Waste in output is even worst and more toxic
