How many deaths are due to nuclear reactors?

I'm not aware of any deaths which have been attributed to nuclear reactors in the US, Canada, or W Europe. What has happened in the past in the Soviet Union has never been fully admitted, but one suspects some accidents might have occurred especially in the early days. There were certainly well documented deaths in the Chernobyl accident in 1986 in the Ukraine. About 50 direct deaths occurred amongst the operating staff and firefighters. The more long term effects on the general population are difficult to assess and really one can only go on statistics. Website www.world-nuclear.org has some references which you can follow up if you want to get more information.

Additional Information:

SL-1 caused the death of three men. That was a US accident, the only one involving fatalities.
