There are plant upgrades, like various types of scrubbers, that can remove some of the worst particulates from coal plant emissions. I don't know what the marginal decrease in deaths per TWh per dollar would be, though, or how low it can go.
There are also a considerable number of deaths from mining accidents, which of course are drastically smaller for nuclear than for coal. Considering the relative amounts of mining required, this should not be a surprise.
