So... following that logic, air travel is the safest method available, so your argument is that we should stop regulating it? It's the safest method available because it is well regulated with an attendant long-standing culture of safety -- so much so that even a single breakdown (c.f. the 737 MAX) is considered an existential disaster for a manufacturer.

For an argument from the other side: you're notably looking at (well regulated!) electrical industry statistics for your safety metrics, but if you include unregulated (military) applications things don't look nearly so rosy. There are a surprising number of reactors sitting on the bottom of the ocean right now...
