This is leftover from weapons testing, not nuclear power plants. And it was done by the government, not private actors. So you're wrong on both accounts.

Absolutely false, a significant portion of the fuel used in nuclear plants in the US was made from the nuclear weapons stockpile of uranium. Also, the mining and refining of nuclear material and fuel fabrication by private companies has contaminated many sites across the globe.
