Reprocessing plants are indeed much worse than nuclear power plants in terms of day-to-day radioactive release and many other safety aspects - which is why I get a little perplexed when nuclear proponents keep on pushing them as the solution to the nuclear waste problem. It's only waste because we foolishly don't use it as fuel, they say, but the processes for doing that are an absolute disaster (and also a nuclear weapons proliferation risk to boot).
