Experiment: Inference just based on Separated Waste
suggested by @goettsche: waste from reprocessing has U composition of spent fuel, i.e. before spent fuel enrichment. This may prove useful to inferring cycle time, natural enrichment level(?), possibly other parameters.
There seems to be a constant factor of about 4.6% difference between Uranium concentrations in the separated waste sink and those emitted by the reactor.

A reason for this could be the different separation efficiency, removing slightly less Pu from the reactor waste than other elements and thus increasing its relative concentration
