Doesn't really work like that. Some people have yet to get cancer, for example. Here is a reasonable estimate: http://www.chernobylreport.org/?p=summary

Imagine if anti-gasoline nuts had blocked the implimentation of fuel injection, unleaded gas, and catalytic converters because their goal was the complete elimination of gasoline as a fuel.

If one gasoline power plant malfunction had caused 740,000 cases of premature aging, 100,000-200,000 abortions and 30,000-207,000 genetically damaged children (with 300,000-2 million expected over multiple generations) then they might not actually be 'nuts'.
