Yes, now how many people die from coal-related pollution every day? Heck, a single middle-tier dam failure probably killed more people that have died to nuclear accidents in history.

I'm not makiing a case, a question was asked and I answered wrt direct deaths from radiation accidents.

Some coal related pollution deaths can easily fall under indirect deaths due to radiation.

By all means lookup and answer your own question, HN threads benefit from solid figures and linked sources.
