Frank-
I know that there are hazards involved with nuclear power generation. I'm just stating that they appear to be far less serious than the hazards involved with other means of generation.

Comparison of accident statistics in primary energy production.

(Electricity generation accounts for about 40% of total primary energy)
Fuel        Immediate fatalities 1970-92        W        Normalised to deaths
per TWy* electricity

Coal        6400        workers        342
Natural gas        1200        workers & public        85
Hydro        4000        public        883
Nuclear        31        workers        8
* Basis: per million MWe operating for one year, not including plant construction, based on historic data which is unlikely to represent current safety levels in any of the industries concerned.
