Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that spent nuclear fuel can be reprocessed and reused as reactor fuel?

Yes. One peer-reviewed source states that France reprocesses spent fuel to separate uranium and plutonium and reuses them as MOX reactor fuel, and several other sources describe reprocessing and recycling of spent fuel into reactor fuel as established or studied practice.
