Death toll isn't the only metric for accident severity. Environmental pollution is really important too.

And with Fukushima we were kinda lucky. It was still a double meltdown with several hydrogen explosions and could have been much worse.

I think I already addressed this point. You also need to think about second-order effects, but like I said, there are second order effects to all of these solutions. Just because nuclear's side effects are more easy to dramatize doesn't mean that it is necessarily more deadly / harmful to the environment.
