The typical plant by itself just sits there producing heat, and it's well shielded so emits no radiation. If we look at all the NPPs (so we factor in all the accidents) and average out then we get a higher number. And if we look at a full lifecycle analysis (so from uranium oxide mining to plant building, to long-term nuclear waste storage, and/or reprocessing and whatnot), then we'll get an even higher number. But all of that is quite meaningless, because the real question is health impact anyway.
