It takes decades and usually billions to decommission and deconstruct a nuclear power plant that hasn’t blown up. If parts of it blew up, it will take even longer and more money.
Heck i recently saw an article that the full deconstruction of a nuclear power plant in Germany that operated for 16 years will take at least 50 years by the current estimate.

Lol I live a stone throw away from a nuke facility thats been in deconstruction since 1980 and just entered phase 2 this year.
However, my comment was about being surprised it was still an operating nuclear power plant not about how long it takes to clean up or decommission a nuclear power plant.
