The reactor decommissioning continues...

Here's the press release from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission signaling the beginning of our actual decommissioning. Note the last sentence: "Successful decommissioning could result in termination of the reactor’s license and NRC’s release of the site for unrestricted use." (emphasis mine)

It seems that the only way to call a decommissioning successful is by terminating the license and unrestricting the site. I mean, that would be my definition of successful, and it happens to be the U's goal. Look for the termination notice in another five years.
