There is no way that currently exist to remove the fuel rods safely. Think about that for a minute.
They were like a kid in a candy store. As soon as they figured out how to split an atom and make a big boom they started scheming on how they were going to harness that energy for boiling water to make steam. Never a thought was there about what if and oh shit, you know what I'm saying. They spent their whole time it seems in figuring out how to harness all this energy and it seems not much time was spent on figuring out how to deal with it under all circumstances at all times. Should have been a requirement from the get go.

Shut the nukes down, Dig a hole and bury them whatever. We can take care of business without them if we have too.
