Is it true that nuclear power plants produce radioactive waste that must be stored for long periods?

Yes. The EPA states that nuclear power plants produce radioactive waste, including spent fuel stored in pools or containers, with no permanent long-term storage site in the US, and a Skeptics.SE answer citing IAEA data says high-level waste requires containment for tens of thousands of years and intermediate-level waste for thousands of years.
