The Fukushima nuclear disaster came close to forcing the Japanese Prime Minister to shut down and evacuate Tokyo. [1]
Also, you are making an error in how you calculate risk. It's not just how many fatalities are caused by each source of risk on an annual basis. It's also how much potential a risk-source has to scale. Nuclear can potentially scale into causing a massive number of fatalities and that is why people, correctly, identify it as a serious source of risk.
