Bizarrely enough, or so I believe, coal fired power stations actually
emit more "radiation" than nuclear due to the radioactive content of
the coal


I think that the big difference is what they capable of emitting, not what
the actually emit.

You can pile coal waste up in a heap and build a local park on it. *You
can't do that with nuclear waste.
