31. A rudimentary search indicates your "300 deaths" for all nuclear industry is fiction.

Low dose radiation at one nuclear plant alone was correlated with 300+ excess deaths. However, these deaths are not officially attributed to radiation, but instead diseases like cancer which occur some years later.

See Table 5.

That's just ONE nuclear plant.

If you're dealing with something that is going to be persistent in the environment over many thousands of years, deaths officially attributed to it can't even be evaluated, because they haven't yet all occurred.
