Their models predict excess deaths from economically driven cold which compare marginally unfavourably with deaths from nuclear related dislocation. Even if the model holds correct, the government's policy to shutdown reactors immediately was likely the right choice. Just in terms of number of expected deaths. Two factors lead me to think so: aftershock risk and the possibility of systemic failure in the nuclear industry.
