More than 50 people died directly in the Chernobyldisaster on 26 April 1986 in Ukraine (then part of USSR). Estimates of the number who died later from radiation and other sicknesses range from possibly 4,000 to close to a million.
No one died in the Three Mile Island accident in the US.
Two people died in the Tokaimura, Japan nuclear accident 30 September 1999. More than 660 workers and nearby residents were exposed to excess radiation, but it is not known how many later suffered sickness or cancers as a result.
There may have been several deaths from the Fukushi,Japan nuclear disaster on 11 March 2011. Numbers of people have been exposed to excess radiation.

The population has a long follow-up (50 years) and includes both sexes and all ages of exposure, allowing a direct compilation of risks by these factors. the population has a long follow-up (50 years) and includes both sexes and all ages of exposure, allowing a direct compilation of risks by these factors. Because of the use of Japanese family registration system, mortality data are virtually complete for survivors who remained in Japan.

What was an effect of dropping bombs on japan?
Lots of people died. Japan surrendered to the Allied forces shortly thereafter. The world entered the nuclear age, and the fear of nuclear war became widespread. And many other things.
What is keeping nuclear energy from being accessible to the public?
Nuclear power produces electricity which is used by the public, however it needs to be carefully managed for safety and it would not be advisable to allow the ordinary unskilled public to have their own reactors. . Specifically, Uranium, which is used for fission reactors, is dangerous to handle - it is toxic and radioactive. Just as importantly, uranium fission products include isotopes of caesium, strontium, and barium, all of which are harmful. . Nuclear power plants are strictly regulated and carefully controlled, because mistakes made in a nuclear power plant can lead to catastrophe consequences, as seen in Russia at the Chernobyl 1986 reactor disaster, in which killed 31 people died from radiation sickness in the first month, and has left the surrounding surface water and soil contaminated. Even today, there is a 17 mile exclusion zone around the former plant where no one is permitted to live, and it is estimated it will take up to 200 years before this zone becomes habitable again. . Finally, some nuclear reactors can be used to make fissionable material suitable for atomic bombs. Consequently, access to nuclear reactors and their byproducts must be carefully controlled at all times.
How many people died when the two atomic bombs hit?
About 220,000 died due to the dropping of the 2 atomic bombs onto Japan in 1945. 75,000 in Nagasaki died and 145,000 in Hiroshima died.

What is the most famous nuclear disaster in Europe?
The most famous Nuclear disaster in Europe was the 1986 Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant Disaster in Ukraine. Nuclear radiation from an explosion in one of the four reactors leaked into the surrounding area and the near by city of Pripyat. Over 50,000 people had to be evacuated. 50 workers and firemen were killed and thousands of others died of cancers related with being exposed to the radiation from the disaster. Chernobyl and Pripyat are still heavily radioactive today and can still cause nuclear mutations if exposed for to long.
Can nuclear fission be harmful?
Yes. The first use we developed for nuclear fission was the atomic bomb. The number of people who died when the bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki is difficult to estimate precisely, but was likely over 200,000. Even aside from nuclear weapons, the products of nuclear fission are highly radioactive and fission itself produces large amount of radiation. Accidents at nuclear power plants, which use controlled fission reactions, can result in radioactive material being released into the environment.
How many people have died in japan?
If you mean from the atomic bombs, 90,000-166,000 people in Hiroshima and 60,000-80,000 in Nagasaki.
