Yes Bert, the complete proportional mix of actinides and fission products can be readily calculated, and as the half lives (and energies of the decay particles/rays, be they alpha, beta or gamma) of all of these radioisotopes are known precisely, the integrated radiotoxicity for any future time period can be calculated. Fuel recycling separates the actinides (in a hot mixed batch of Pu, U and the MA), and this is used to create fresh metal fuel. The residual batch of FP has a short aggregate HL/radiotoxicity.

Your 3rd paragraph is again one without substance, so is by default inarguable.
