A fossil fuel plant operating nominally without any incidents will impact the entire population as the fossil fuels are consumed and the byproducts of their combustion emitted. The number of QALYs / DALYs / deaths lost that are directly attributable to air pollution is absolutely staggering. The magnitude of the risks we're contemplating when we're discussing nuclear are completely insignificant in relation to that.
