> still a far cry from fossils related deaths
The question is not "which amount of fossil fuel, which amount of nuclear?" but about renewables and nuclear.
>> Because those who refuse to be exposed to induced risks can prevent most of it
> ??? In cities the bulk of deaths are cyclists/pedestrians
Being ultra-alert, or avoiding crossing any street or even avoiding any area where motorized vehicles zoom around is possible. Avoiding most of the effects of a major nuclear accident or of some wandering "hot" nuclear waste (during the upcoming 100000 years or so...) is way, way more difficult.
> Coal power plants are literally generating more radioactive ematerial
This is not about preferring coal to nuclear but about preferring renewables to nuclear.

(I'm French. ) Our "solution", named "Cigéo" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cig%C3%A9o ), isn't even ready (more than 60 years after the first industrial reactor diverged) and is officially imperfect (there are risks, French ahead: section «Déchets» in https://sites.google.com/view/avenirdunucleraire/#h.e4d4cdh3... ).
Better avoiding producing such stuff, IMHO. Renewables...
