the claim

Spent nuclear fuel is reprocessed to produce new reactor fuel in France.

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 is reprocessed to produce new reactor fuel in France?

Yes. Two sources state directly that France reprocesses spent nuclear fuel, separating uranium and plutonium that are reused to manufacture new reactor fuel such as MOX and enriched reprocessed uranium. Other items describe French reprocessing scenarios or general reprocessing without naming France.
