only one died from anything involving radiation and that was a lung cancer case that took 4 years, there's half a dozen filing insurance claims for cancer and 2 got radiation burns.
the largest casualty counts from that incident come from a chemical tank rupturing (16) and the evacuation of the area (51)
mind also that this is the worst case of a nuclear power incident outside of Chernobyl which the soviets where actively trying to fuck up at every step, and you still have the safest, most space- and resource-efficient power source on the planet and possibly the only one that can meet most if not all sustainability goals without demanding human sacrifice on a scale that would have the Aztecs calling us unenlightened, murderous savages or paving over the entire wilderness and "only" doing Aztec-scale mass human sacrifice.
moral of the story: fuck commies, fuck hippies, glory to Slotin
