According to the WHO, outdoor pollution from burning fossil fuels and biomass causes at least 2 million deaths annually. Even if the 1 million death toll were true, nuclear would still be vastly safer than coal power. You could additionally push for the adoption of nuclear only in well-developed countries if you were adamant about safety, as in the United States the death toll from nuclear is 0.1 per year. But the primary benefit of nuclear would be the reduction in CO2 emissions, with the tremendous safety gains being a bonus. If you only cared about reducing CO2 emissions you could have a Chernobyl every year while still being safer and less polluting than coal power.
