You can't turn a nuclear reactor OFF !

You CAN stop the chain reaction, but the core is STILL emitting radiation and is still hot (in both the thermal and radioactive sense of the word) from that.

Depending on the core material, it stays that way for up to million of years.

Exactly. Radiation is forever.
