Nuclear power causes fewer deaths per unit of electricity generated than coal, oil, or gas.

Recorded sources
3 sources for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that nuclear power causes fewer deaths per unit of electricity generated than coal, oil, or gas?

Yes. Multiple sources reporting deaths per unit of electricity — including a Skeptics.SE table, a New Scientist/IAEA-derived table, and Our World in Data — indicate nuclear power causes far fewer deaths per terawatt-hour than coal, oil, or gas. One book excerpt claims the opposite for accidents, but the weight of the placed sources supports the claim.
