I assume these are deaths directly attributed to the pollution but the longer term effects of radiation mean the actual number of deaths due to radiation is difficult to enumerate.

And that's not taking into account the environmental damage. Soil and water courses polluted for decades if not centuries.
Your mad if you think they are higher than the millions per year dying from coal and gas plus the heating up of the planet. Your talking about a disaster that happened almost 40 years ago from a plant built 60 years ago, neglected by the Soviets. Comparing it to new plants is like saying a Ford cortina is surely just as safe as a Tesla.

No soil and water is polluted in modern plants only 2% of waste needs deep storage which is done safely at a few sites. Its needs must, its an either or for some countries nuclear or heating up the planet. We are permanently destroying large areas of South America mining for the production of electric car batteries are the greens fighting that. No because its a problem we shift away from our country and also again needs must the planet is heating uncontrollably
