It's good to note that basically anything causes less deaths than fossil fuel.

Looking only at mortality though doesn't take into account the environmental drawbacks of nuclear though.  To your point, nuclear offers far more energy for far less deaths compared to fossil fuels, but that doesn't refute my point from my last post that nuclear creates hazardous materials that need to be safely secured and stored because of how dangerous it is.
