No, if you add up all the people who died due to nuclear accidents it’s still insignificant compare to coal.
Of course there are no hard numbers, but according to estimates over 30k people in Euorope & the US die because of coal (800k) globally. By comparison Chernobyl caused 4000–16000 deaths over several decades.
- bayesian_horse 5y agoThat's not a valid comparison. Nuclear energy accounts only for a much smaller amount of energy production. It's a very weak argument to just wave your hand over how to multiply nuclear energy by one or two orders of magnitude, without major incidents, without nuclear pollution, and without the nuclear waste problem getting more out of hand than it already has.
