For sure I can understand that maybe nuclear power plants from the 70s don't have the best security for today's standards. But based in the technology leap from the 70s until today, I can imagine that a nuclear power plant being built today are much safer than those from the 70s. And you are right, death numbers by nuclear energy accidents is much smaller than with Nuclear. UN says that not more than 50 person died in Chernobyl[1]. In Fukushima: 0[2].
However that's maybe like accidents with Cars x accidents with Airplane: The statistics are irrelevant for people with intrinsic fear from Airplanes.
