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 more deaths per terawatt-hour of electricity than coal power?

No. A widely reproduced comparison table reports coal at roughly 100,000 deaths per 10^12 kWh against nuclear at about 90, so the claim that nuclear causes more deaths per terawatt-hour than coal is contradicted. A Fukushima study also estimates that replacing nuclear with fossil fuels raised mortality above the accident's own toll.
