And that should be compared to the direct and indirect deaths caused by air pollution due to coal.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_accidents
In terms of deaths/PWh (PWh is 1,000,000 GWh) coal has 100,000/PWh whereas nuclear is 90. Roof top solar from mainly installer accidents is 440. That doesn’t include GHG affects just air quality affects.
We just are more shocked by capsthrophic events then Frog Boiling events.
