While I agree with your point it is phrased wrong.
There have been two large scale nuclear disasters. BUT in those disasters less people died (globally) or will die (using LNT model) than Americans die per year from coal ash. By a fair amount too (4x-100x. 100x is the UN estimate from 2006). You could argue that 10x Americans die every year by cars than any person has died from nuclear. Because when it come to nuclear we're really only talking about 1 event that lead to deaths, and the HIGH estimates of that are still under 100k (for reference, the coal ash number is ~200k/yr, and cars are ~33k/yr). Which yeah, that's a lot of people, but not that many when you consider the time frame of all of nuclear power. Other energy sources and utilities have their deaths spread out over decades and location, the problem with nuclear is that it is temporally and physically concentrated.
But let me repeat the main point.
Every year more Americans die from coal ash than ALL the people who have ever died from any nuclear incident.
