Even if reposted with fancy graphs, the data do not get better. Basically, they are from a nuclear lobby site.
The referenced data on the lobby site lists 0.04-0.23 deaths per TWh for the coal fuel chain and 0.01-0.65 for nuclear. I don't see that large a difference here between coal and nuclear.
The number of 160 deaths/TWh is made up from a very rough estimate of WHO that 1 mio. people die due to coal air pollution (without further reference). That's hardly a good source, IMHO.
Further, the effect of storing lethally radioactive material for very long time periods is completely neglected.
For me, this is a troll post and I bite.

- lysium 16y agoThe info is based on such bogus data, I jumped to that claim. I currently can't check your reddit link, because reddit is down. Maybe it's just the article.
