Pyroprocessing of nuclear fuel rods, as an alternative to nuclear reprocessing, only attempts to combine separated plutonium with other, such as neptunium, americium, or curium. Theoretically, you could still reuse mixed, pyroprocessed plutonium to generate nuclear power, but it wouldn’t be pure enough for other uses.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Pyroprocessing: A Hot-Button Issue |url=https://www.nrdc.org/onearth/pyroprocessing-hot-button-issue |access-date=2022-10-28 |website=NRDC |date=18 February 2015 |language=en}}</ref>
