Realistically, the site can be re-used for another power plant. Or cleaned up and used for something else. It's not particularly different from any other industrial activity that deals with hazardous materials.

Yankee Rowe is largely clean empty land, with a small storage site for dry fuel casks. It doesn't happen much because it's economically smarter to keep operating a plant or replace it with another plant given that the site is already prepared for a nuclear power station.
