Three Mile Island (1979): Dead: zero, injured: zero.

Chernobyl (1986): Dead: 75, injured: possibly 4000 who need not have

Entirely caused by operator error, which could have been prevented by

There have also been two fatal accidents in the USA since 1979, both of
which involved electrocution due to unlabelled or incorrectly labelled

None of the other incidents I've looked at in the last half Century
happened while in normal operation.
