WP says the plant has been "largely decommissioned". To my reading, that means the same as "not decommissioned yet".

From what I'm reading, that just means there are a couple of buildings (offices, warehouses, etc) left on the site. It hasn't been completely demolished yet, but it doesn't sound like there's anything extraordinary preventing that, either.

Same word games as the other one.

The reactor itself is temporarily buried awaiting movement to Yucca Mountain, which has no planned date.

The reactor and fuel were removed, and the reactor building and cooling tower were demolished. Maybe we need to use another word? Seems like that plant is pining-for-the-fjords.
