It is always funny to check the numbers of pro nuclear sources. As an example in your source [1], the number of .04 deaths/TWh due to nuclear energy seems to be simply the WHO number of excess cancer death of 4000 divided by 112 PWh generated electricity. However in the original article [2] he links (as source for coal related death) to a IAEA bulletin [3], which also cites numbers for nuclear energy, ranging from .6 to 1.2 deaths per TWh. More in line with an estimate of about 40,000 deaths from chernobyl [4]. ( This source also gives a very nice summary of the problems of the WHO estimate.)
