True, but nuclear energy has two important benefits. It has a stable output (so you don't have to invest in energy storage) and it takes up much less space (so it doesn't visually disrupt the landscape as much).
Less space: that's true. But you still need a fair bit of space to the nearest city. :)
(But that's an easy target to beat.)
And even assuming those accidents are unavoidable, coal still produces more health problems and deaths.
(I'm also not sure why so many people are playing the nuclear/coal dichotomy when we got into this discussion from wind power and the default backup for renewables is now CCGT?)
