The US Government Accountability Office has slammed the NRC and the reactor decommissioning fund claiming the fund is inadequate as is the NRC oversight.
Citing that the majority of the funds do not have enough money to cover real decommissioning costs, some with only 57% of the needed money in the fund.

--Another snip--
This doesn’t even touch on the spent fuel issue where the NRC’s most current plan is to store the fuel in 20 year rated casks in the plant parking lots for 200 years.
