This is most of a paragraph from Wikipedia - Ecological Footprint - with nothing apparently disputed:
"Claims exist that the problems of nuclear waste do not come anywhere close to approaching the problems of fossil fuel waste.[35][36] A 2004 article from the BBC states: "The World Health Organization (WHO) says 3 million people are killed worldwide by outdoor air pollution annually from vehicles and industrial emissions, and 1.6 million indoors through using solid fuel."[37] In the U.S. alone, fossil fuel waste kills 20,000 people each year.[38] A coal power plant releases 100 times as much radiation as a nuclear power plant of the same wattage.[39] It is estimated that during 1982, US coal burning released 155 times as much radioactivity into the atmosphere as the Three Mile Island incident.[40] In addition, fossil fuel waste causes global warming, which leads to increased deaths from hurricanes, flooding, and other weather events".
If you are still opposed to nuclear power plants being part of the mix, to replace all fossil-fuel power production as soon as possible, study the next paragraph from Wikipedia:
"Paranoia is a thought process believed to be heavily influenced by anxiety or fear, often to the point of irrationality and delusion. Paranoid thinking typically includes persecutory beliefs concerning a perceived threat towards oneself. Historically, this characterization was used to describe any delusional state".
