Fine, now please apply the same logic to coal plants that kill 7000000 people/year.

7 million per year. This seems outright false despite being as pro nuclear as I am.

Can you back this up?

I think the number is actually the total for global deaths in air pollution: http://www.who.int/mediacentre/news/releases/2014/air-pollut...

Coal is not the only contributor, but still a major one:

670,000 reported deaths because of coal annually in China
