If these data are true (and we know, Europe is Europe), I wonder why we condemn so much nuclear power. Even counting nuclear wastes and the explosion risk, the numbers of induced deaths would be lesser than those triggered by air pollution.
For example, the estimates of the aftermath of Chernobyl disaster are around 60,000 deaths vs the 250k in 2021 due to air pollution within Europe. Perhaps, our concerns against nuclear power stem from psicological factor which is related to the spatial density of deaths: Nuclear risk concern specific areas, air pollution is more...spreaded.
