As you speak of decommissioning, this applies to *any* technology and singling our nuclear is a manipulation.

Coal ash releases hundreds times (!) more radioactive elements to the environment than a nuclear power plant, yet countries are still burning coal and producing coal ash at 2000 m3 per day, which they just dump on huge heaps that occupy thousands of hectares.

These hills on the picture (Poland) are all coal ash, and they also require decades of treatment...
