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.
