I believe the claim was that it's safer per terawatt-hour, not that it's absolutely safer. Those are different metrics.

- roenxi 7y agoWhile technically correct that isn't a useful interpretation of "nuclear power is safer than solar", because it implies that nuclear is infinitely safer than using solar energy in a country that doesn't have any nuclear plants but has some solar panels. I don't think anyone would care about that fact in practice. Deaths per unit power is much more important unless you have a thesis that it changes with the amount of power produced.
