Doing so reduces the half-life of the remaining byproducts massively.
What can't be reused as nuclear fuel is 99.9% free of radiation within
40 years, rather than the 10k+ of actual uranium or plutonium-laden
spent fuel rods.

If you are going to quote mine - take the whole quote.

If reprocessing is undertaken only to reduce the radioactivity level of
spent fuel it should be taken into account that spent nuclear fuel
becomes less radioactive over time. After 40 years its radioactivity
drops by 99.9%,[36] though it still takes over a thousand years for the level of radioactivity to approach that of natural uranium.[37] However the level of transuranic elements, including plutonium-239, remains high for over 100,000 years, so if not reused as nuclear fuel, then those elements need secure disposal because of nuclear proliferation reasons as well as radiation hazard.

And of course the big lie

It only came to a stop because Obama outlawed the practice because it 'encourages proliferation'.

No.  He moved away from commercial reprocessing and put it back into scientific research on better and more effective reprocessing techniques - because the current ones produce more waste per volume; with all the same storage and half life issues.
