Decommissioning a nuclear power plant involves several steps to safely shut it down and dismantle its facilities. First, the reactor is securely shut down, and spent fuel is removed and stored. Next, radioactive materials are decontaminated and removed, followed by dismantling plant structures. Finally, the site is monitored and restored for future use, which can take several decades to complete.
