WHO Scientific Data Warning: Coal-Fired Power Kills 2,500 Times More Than Nuclear Power — Comparing Health Risks of Nuclear and Other Power Generation Methods

This article cites World Health Organization (WHO) research data comparing the fatality rates to humans from different power generation methods for every billion kilowatt-hours of electricity produced. Data shows that coal-fired power (100 deaths) is significantly higher than nuclear power (0.04 deaths), natural gas (4 deaths), and wind power (0.15 deaths). The article emphasizes that the fatality rate of coal power is 2,500 times that of nuclear power, and uses this to advocate for restarting the Fourth Nuclear Power Plant to reduce annual deaths caused by coal burning.

After rigorous scientific research, the World Health Organization (WHO) has found the following mortality rates per billion kilowatt-hours of electricity generated by various commercially available power generation methods worldwide, distributed across different power plants:

📉 Comparison of Mortality Rates for Various Power Generation Methods (per billion kilowatt-hours)

| Power Generation Method | Mortality Rate (persons) |

| :------------: | :----------: |

| Coal-fired Power Plant | 100 |

| Natural Gas Power Generation | 4 |

| Wind Power | 0.15 |

| Nuclear Power Plant | 0.04 |

  • ​​The mortality rate of coal-fired power is 2,500 times that of nuclear power.

  • Restarting the Fourth Nuclear Power Plant and shutting down half of the Taichung Power Plant could generate 20 billion kilowatt-hours of clean electricity, potentially reducing coal-fired power-related deaths in Taiwan by 2,000 people annually.
