Generally, not. The reactor pressure vessel is too radioactive to handle and, even if you could do that, the contamination of the various plant systems would cost too much to properly decontaminate. Only one facility has been successfully decontaminated after operation - and that was the Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant in New York - but it only operated for the equivalent of one day at 5% power - a normal plant with long term operation history would never be able to be adequately decontaminated and allowed to be "walked away from".
