Okay so I remember the numbers from a duvunent about the Hague storage and recycling facility in france and dug up a closer paper:

Here is another link and for your tired ass I copied interesting parts but please check it out yourself;

Out of all the material components of the fuel assembly, 94-96% of the mass can be recycled using La Hague's current process.

The PUREX process (Plutonium Uranium Refining by Extraction, shown in Fig. 2) is utilized by both of the UP2 and UP3 plants at the La Hague facility. This process recovers 99.5% of the uranium and plutonium in the spent fuel rod assembly.

This can be used in nuclear weapons, so way beyond what's needed for a nuclear power station.

I'm all for fighting misinformation but you can't just scream and insult, that doesn't work even if you're right.
