Not at all, but long term storage of exhausted nuclear rods still costs an unknown amount of money endless centuries into the future. So you can't really put a number on the final bill.

    Some types of reactors can also use those waste products as fuel and in turn make them into other waste products that only last a couple hundred years, so it's not a easy calculation to make unless you know what's deployed in the future.
