Last I read none of the closed plants in the USA had been completely decommissioned.
The Trojan Nuclear Power Plant[1] in Oregon comes "close" to being decommissioned. E.g. the reactor vessel itself was barged up the Columbia River and dumped into a big pit in the ground.
Of course, the spent nuclear fuel remains on site. But that's a political issue, not a technical one.
