Re:Why Germany won’t keep its nuclear plants open by Retric on Thursday April 14, 2022 @09:14PM (#31035622)
Yes the numbers are low, but here’s a source for comparison: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/death-rates-from-energy-p...

The chart often used by pro nuclear sources comes from 2012, compares things to rooftop solar, etc. But more recent data is down as wind and solar deaths are extremely front loaded during construction.

PS: As to batteries etc. The fact nuclear power plants have hundreds of people drive to them every day is going to have associated traffic accidents over the lifetime of a power plant. Where you draw lines as associated deaths or not is somewhat subjective.
