there is about 30,000 people get killed a year.
The bombing of Japan at the end of WWII killed MANY PEOPLE because of the nuclear radiation
Presumably you mean nuclear power plants, not nuclear weapons. Most people would I think say nuclear power is more dangerous, but just look at the figures. The worst accident ever was at Chernobyl and I think about 50 people lost their lives directly, though more may get cancer eventually. Many people get cancer without nuclear power of course. But just think about how many coal miners have been killed in mining accidents, and how many have been killed in accidents on oil rigs, especially off-shore ones. This will put it in perspective. In a normal year, no-one is killed in nuclear plants due to nuclear accidents, though there are bound to be some normal type industrial accidents, and in fact as far as I know there has never been a death in a US nuclear plant due to a nuclear cause.
agree
Nuclear Power is NOT NECESSARY. So many people die when there's a nuclear explosion. It is also really bad for the environment.
I do, but many other people don't
Somewhat less than 200,000.
Mostly about 536,000 people so far
Many people began to question whether nuclear power was safe. People began to be fearful of the dangers of nuclear power.Source: e2020 Topic Test

They aren't. Even including Chernobyl, which will never happen again, wind power kills more people per unit of energy produced than nuclear. As of 2010, 53 Americans have been killed working on wind turbines, while only 3 have been killed working on nuclear power plants.Nuclear is one of the safest forms of energy.Hydroelectric is the most dangerous, because people build cities under dams, which then fail. For instance, the failure of the Banqiao Reservoir Dam killed 171,000 people.Coal is the second most dangerous. Coal pollution kills as many people as Chernobyl every few weeks.
