You remove the fuel and store it in a place where decay heat removal can be permanently sustained. You either keep it in the spent fuel pool, you give it or sell it to another facility that has a compatible reactor, or you transport it to a high level waste facility.
You decontaminate the facility as best you can. For those areas which cannot be decontaminated, such as the Reactor Pressure Vessel, you cut it apart and ship the pieces to a high level or mid level waste facility.
Once you remove the fuel and adequately decontaminate the facility, assuming that is even possible, you de-certify the facility per the applicable regulations in force, and have the license revoked. Some facilities can never be adequately decontaminated, such as those that have been in service for more than a very short period of time, which means that the obligation to maintain monitoring, control and security never goes away.
