Nuclear fuel in the reactor cores melted after the magnitude 9.0 earthquake and tsunami in March 2011 caused the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant's cooling systems to fail
That’s some really cool technology you got there, that can reprocess radioactive waste from decommissioning nuclear plants. You know, reactor vessels, bio shields, all the plumbing etc. Please point me to a source on how that technology works.
Like I said below, it’s basically recycling, which also doesn’t make the waste disappear. I’m with you on this one, but you also did ask how reprocessing works, so there’s that.

Did you even read what I wrote before?

My question was specifically how reprocessing the stuff other than fuel would work. And it was a rhetorical question because it obviously doesn’t.
You either just treat them like normal buildings, treat them like tourist buildings, or just sell them to Holtec.
Do you really think that out of the millions of demolished buildings, none had toilets‽
You really have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about.
I live within two hours of a decommissioned nuclear power plant and 10 seconds of a sink.
