This statistic does not account future deaths.
If we were to stop using hydro or wind the number of related deaths would quickly drop. With a lifetime of 100.000 years, today's nuclear waste has a potential to kill tenths millions.

You have fundamentally misunderstood the nuclear fuel cycle, and some very basic facts about radioactive material. The stuff that "kills" has a short half-life. The stuff that lasts for millennia is almost safe enough to store in your underpants.
Rather than parrot ignorant statements of others, please consider learning more about nuclear energy.
That it is dangerous for millennia seems to be a popular belief, so a source would be valuable.
Seems a bit strange having to cite something I learned in secondary school science class, but okay.
