> Fukushima killed 0 people. The evacuation has 2,000 deaths attributed to it.

Why do you think that distinction is important? It's like saying that bikes don't kill people, only the hard surfaces you fall on when you crash do.

Because that's not a problem with nuclear power plants per se, more a problem with chaotically evacuating after a massive tsumani has destroyed mass amounts of infrastructure and killed thousands of people

That type of evacuation in circumstances without the tsunami would not have lead to 2,000 deaths.
