Nuclear has killed less people per TWh than any other form of electricity generation, despite Fukushima and Chernobyl.

But it has probably caused more birth defects because of Fukushima and Chernobyl. Death is just one statistic.

Though it wouldn't surprise me if deaths+birth defects+other health problems was still a lot lower for nuclear than for coal and oil.
