The largest credible estimates for Chernobyl are in the hundreds or in the single-digit thousands. Estimates larger than that make significant methodological errors, like failing to account for better technologies for diagnosing certain types of cancer (especially thyroid cancer). For Fukushima, most estimates predict zero deaths due to radiation exposure besides the plant workers.
