Yes. See https://adamswebsearch2.nrc.gov/webSearch2/main.jsp?AccessionNumber=ML23191A153 https://adamswebsearch2.nrc.gov/webSearch2/main.jsp?Accessio... "Rulemaking: Regulatory Framework for Fusion Energy Systems, NRC Public Meeting, July 12, 2023" and especially the graph on page 27, "Relative radiotoxicity" vs "Time after shutdown (years)"
Also see https://www.nrc.gov/docs/ML2325/ML23258A145.pdf https://www.nrc.gov/docs/ML2325/ML23258A145.pdf "Fusion Systems Rulemaking: United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Preliminary Proposed Rule Language". The NRC are already proposing to regulate fusion reactors much more like particle accelerators (which can produce medical radioisotopes, for example), and less like fission reactors.
