Very informative, thank you. What about the MOX fuel they use, is this the product of that reprocessing technology?

Yes, I believe MOX is one option of what you can make from what's left from reprocessing. I think it's possible to make more conventional fuel there too, but then what are you going to do with the plutonium.
