That's also simply flat-out wrong. In the US alone for only commercial
(non-defense facilities) the following sites have had equipment,
structures, and portions of the facility containing radioactive
contaiminants removed or been decontaminated to a level low enough that
the property can be released and the NRC license terminated:

Big Rock Point Charlevoix, MI
Fort St. Vrain Platteville, CO
Haddam Neck Meriden, CT
Maine Yankee Wiscasset, ME
Pathfinder Sioux Falls, SD
Saxton Saxton, PA
Shippingport Shippingport, PA
Shoreham Wading River, NY
Trojan Ranier, OR
Yankee Rowe Franklin Co., MA

The following are in progress of decontamination:

Rancho Seco Herald, CA
San Onofre 1 San Clemente, CA
