> but what about deaths in uranium mining and processing Modern Uranium mining is basically pin-point mining mostly done by machines. And even without that, Uranium is so energy dense that you don't actually have to mine much. Every other energy source also has lots of mining simply because you need lots more of normal metals. Think about the absurd amount of mining required for wind miles. The same for processing, those are very highly advanced modern processes that are pretty strictly on safety. There are very few deaths from either. > One confounding factor in this data is the low numbers of large-scale accidents for nuclear power. The only ever large-scale accident (in terms of people) for nuclear power is Chernobyl and if you look at the long term death we are talking around 4000 who die earlier and maybe 50 who died faster and that is one event 40 years ago. Other then that there have been basically 0 deaths from radiation from civilian power nuclear accidents. In reality Chernobyl was a military reactor and shouln't even be included in the first place. > or if Fukushima happened faster I'm not sure what you are talking about here. It seems that you assume that evacuation saved people? That is totally wrong. Actually a far larger number of people died during the evacuation that were actually endangered by the radiation.
