Nice list, but what you’ve demonstrated is that you in fact don’t understand.
You’ve listed out just about every nuclear incident in history. And I mean every nuclear incident, not just nuclear power related. A number of the ones you’ve listed were medical accidents (patients receiving excessive doses, and one incident where a medical device being dismantled was done improperly), or accidental exposure from orphaned sources.
The reality is that there have been no deaths from nuclear power generation in this millennium.
Excluding Chernobyl, 90% of all radiation-exposure deaths from nuclear generation happened before 1962. If we include Chernobyl, then that jumps to 1986 (the year of Chernobyl).
After Chernobyl, there were 5 deaths from radiation exposure, and none after 2000.
Modern nuclear is extremely safe.
The reason all of those incidents have their own Wikipedia pages is because incidents/accidents in a global scale are very rare, and when they do happen it’s a full-blown investigation with extensive reports. Even for a minor alert of elevated radiation readings by the nuclear facility.
If you had bothered to read the links you posted, instead of copying and pasting from Wikipedia (or wherever you copied from) you would have understood that.
