Is it free if you have to conduct geological surveys to find the material, then do a bunch of digging to pull it out of the ground, then run a massive refining operation to get a moderately useful amount?

And then cement it up and dig it deep into the ground until it's inert.

Paying for monitoring and contiguous safe storage for 20,000 years.

Surprisingly still not actually that expensive to do per GW compared to the costs of other generation technologies, except that you kinda have to need GW, rather than just KW or MW.
