Estimates of delayed casualties from Fukushima range from none to low 4 figures, and we'll probably never know exactly because there will be delayed casualties from other side effects of that quake, not to mention 5 figure casualties from the quake itself.
This is comparable to *2 months* of casualties from coal power, and is the worst accident in decades. It really is bad risk assessment.
