Old reactors are shut down for good reason, they don't last forever.
''It is well established that irradiated metals and alloys exhibit increased mechanical strength accompanied by reduced ductility, commonly referred to as irradiation strengthening and embrittlement. We talk about radiation damage and environmental degradation of metals following radiation exposure. Indeed, there have been numerous conferences and symposia held and planned on this subject, which include research work and discussions with the central theme being the damage created in materials by neutron radiation exposure. Radiation embrittlement in metals is believed to be due mainly to (1) changes in flow properties because of the interaction of dislocations with irradiation-produced defects''

I think the radiation risk is low. The real key is what to do with the spent fuel. I still don't understand why we can't just re-refine it but I'm not a nuclear physicist.
