I'm not saying it would make it go away. That's utterly impossible. If I write stories for this there's going to be one or two moments where Ben breaks down because, even with everyone else helping, it just does not seem like enough.
As for the reactors, they're hardly contained at all and are still seeping radiation into the environment. Granted, they are stable at this point in time (have been considered as such since December 2011) but there is still radiation leaking from the area. In fact, during the monsoon season they had to cover the reactors to keep water from getting in and spreading radioactivity around even more. That not what I would call 'contained'.
They'll be contained once they have viable sarcophagus buildings constructed around each reactor, built in such a manner that workers can get in, perform clean up operations, and remove contained radioactive debris for proper disposal. In this, I think, the Fen can be indispensable.
Take this link provided by Waringer in the inspiration and metasites thread. Secure that to a massive scaffold/gantry crane surrounding a reactor building and feed it a regular diet of leaded concrete. Within a few months you have a viable sarcophagus, complete with service entrances, loading docks, emergency exits, and even provisions for electricity, telecom, water, drainage and ventilation. The Fen, with the help of the local heavy industry concerns for 'heavy lifting' (the locals will absolutely love that) can build something like this.
