Is not as dangereus as it used to be. Polution from coal mining does kill though. That being said, nuclear energy is by far more dangereus. Reports say deaths from Chernobyls radiation have reached hundred of thousands and continue to climb. If a disaster will happen, there is very lil you can do. Radiation can not ve contained, it travels through the atmosphere on thousand of miles.
