...of so called "nuclear waste" and declare it a "problem" can you point to any time in period in the 70 year history of the generation of commercial used nuclear fuel, or even the entire history of its accumulation that it injured as many people as will die today from fossil fuel waste? The number of people who will die today, like every other day in the past few decades, is about 19,000.

I will accept as an answer references from reputable sources, ideally the primary scientific literature.

Which is a worse problem, so called "nuclear waste" or extreme global heating driven by fossil fuel wastes?
