    For nuclear it does, depening how many cancer deaths have been caused by mainly Chernobyl. That is however massivly disputed, as it thankfully only ever happend once and well the Soviets had no intresst in actually being honest about that. Depending on the measures that can be thousands of deaths, due to an accident.

      The “accidents” (or rather intentional genocide) involving native americans, uzbeks, siberians, nigerians, and lower caste indians in the upstream of the fuel cycle dwarf chernobyl by at least an order of magnitude. Still not rivalling the coal or oil industry, but not far off.
