Maybe I'm a fool, (it wouldm't be the first time) but I'm under the impression
that most of the "depleted" uranium would come from the isotope seperation done
BEFORE manufacture of fuel for fission reactors, rather than the (joke) 
"reprocessing" which is mostly done for plutonium extraction.

Or am I wrong as usual?
