Somehow we collectively forget/ignore that coal power releases many times the radioactivity of nuclear power, and that is just dumped directly into the air. The numbers are not directly apples to apples but absolutely lead to more life/health loss from fossil nuclear radiation contamination than fission nuclear radiation contamination.

The author said scaling up nuclear would result in 26 more disasters, so if you're trying to beat coal in the radiation department then scaling up nuclear is a good way to do it.

Now do it again but add a bar for Kadapa a bar for sellafield and a bar for la hague rather than comparing the outside of a nuclear plant that is not being refueled and (unlike most of them) is not leaking tritium.

Then consider that the people you're trying to pull this straw man against want coal even less.
