There is nothing chemical that can change the radioactivity of the waste. The remaining waste is more radioactive after reprocessing since the fissile material is less radioactive.
What vitrification can do is put waste in safer form that don't have to worry about escaping or polluting. It ends up as safe, very radioactive, glass.
