What happens to reactors after 50 or 100 years of global/national decline due to environmental and geopolitical circumstances?

I dunno, but that worries me much less than what happens to the thermonuclear warheads so I'd say that ship has sailed.

That's not really a worry, it's relatively easy to tear down thermonuclear devices and then pitch the plutonium into the deepest part of the ocean.
