Here's the thing:
The number of deaths caused by Chernobyl over the last 25 years is comparable to the annual number of coal miners killed globally.

No. They are expensive, dangerous and unnecessary.

If it makes you feel any better, I don't support coal fired power plants either.

Expensive because paranoid morons like you insist on an overzealous safety precautions.
Dangerous because...oh, wait, no sane person would ever think of building a plant like Chernobyl.
Unnecessary because we have coal and oil.

It's not strictly about deaths. How many coal accidents force tens of thousands of people to leave their homes and destroy local business/agriculture?

What alternative would you offer for a place like Japan, with virtually no natural resources?

I would assume these plants would be built at much faster rates considering France has technology to reuse the waste produced during the process.
