Indeed, when compared to other energy sources, nuclear power ranks higher than oil, coal, and natural gas systems in terms of fatalities, second only to hydroelectric dams. There have been 57 accidents since the Chernobyl disaster in 1986.
事实上跟其它发电能源相比，核能的恶性死亡事故发生率高于燃油，燃煤和天然气，仅次于水电大坝。自1986年切尔诺贝利事件之后总共发生了57起核事故。虽然只有其中少数几起造成人员死亡，但造成的总死亡人数却比自1982年起死于美国商业航空事故的人数还要多。
