Nuclear burns cleaner than literally any other form of energy. AND SAFER!!! You have to account for all cost, deaths given from the ENTIRE process, from mining, sourcing, storage, transport, secondary storage, burning, waste streams, waste transport, etc.
If you DO account for it all then nuclear wins by about 100,000 per capita deaths and billions in supply and waste cost per year.
And, of course, "green energy" bullshit fails entirely with the highest per capita death rates and lifecycle cost of any source.
Nope, more deaths per capita, by a fairly significant amount, throughout the last 60ish years of each. Hydro loses due to massive loss of life in comparison.
Hoover dam alone was 96 people killed. That level of death, even back then, would have permanently shut down every nuclear plant in the country.

I will vote for a nuclear power plant in my back yard every day for the rest of my life if I could.
Hydro has Nuclear beat
