In the United States, the Kerr McGee nuclear processing plant [MOX fuel] in Cimarron Oklahoma was closed in 1975 [please remember Karen Silkwood]. It is still being cleaned up and it is a highly dangerous environment though it never had even close to a meltdown. They will be cleaning this plant up for another thirty or forty years. There is anecdotal evidence of a much higher cancer rate within twenty miles of the Kerr McGee plant, even today. They will never be able to clean up Fukushima which is ten billion times dirtier than the Kerr McGee site.
