Of those, only Chernobyl can be reasonably compared to the loss of life of an airline crash. Three Mile Island wasn't even a disaster, except for the wallets of the investors. Working at Fukushima for 40 years was safer than your average construction job, even if you worked during the disaster. And if you have to unfairly compare nuclear safety to airliners, also consider that airliner disasters have become 40 times less frequent than they were when Chernobyl happened.
