Interesting. I know nuclear power is far safer than it's general reputation.

Is nuclear really safer than solar?

This[1] has some data and estimations for death rates measured based on deaths from accidents and air pollution per terawatt-hour (TWh), which suggests nuclear has 0.07 deaths per TWh, which is marginally higher than wind (0.04), hydro (0.02), and solar (0.02).

So, it's very close!
