reprocessings

Reprocessings is the plural of reprocessing, which refers to instances of processing something again, typically to extract additional value, correct errors, or convert material into a different form.

The term appears most often in nuclear contexts, where spent fuel undergoes reprocessing to recover usable uranium and plutonium: The facility handles multiple reprocessings of nuclear waste each year.

It also applies to data, payments, or industrial materials that require a second pass through a system.
