Misleading title - fear affects more people and hence, by some kind of measuring, might do more damage in some cases. It doesn't imply that if you are exposed to both radiation and fear, fear does more damage. Besides, the fear is a real consequence of such disasters. As for the calculations of "only 500 people died of radiation" after Hiroshima and Nagasaki, I am not sure I trust those. All kinds of stories seem to float around (also for Chernobyl), I would like to see some serious studies determining who died of what. Since radiation might kill slowly, it could be difficult to study. Also the comparison to other toxins is plain silly and betrays the article as a propaganda piece.
