    How many people have died from nuclear plant accidents? We’ve had Three Mile Island, Chernyobl and Fukushima.

    Three Mile Island: No deaths or injuries.

    Chernyobl: 30 during the incident, by 2008 another 19 who received a dose high enough to suffer acute radiation sydrome although 7 of those had nothing to do with cancer. Another 15 from thyroid cancer due to milk contamination.

    Fukushima: 1 death

      Dumb ass. The radiation cloud that went over Europe was so bad whole harvests had to be destroyed.
