I believe this comes from the construction and maintenance related deaths (i.e. falling off a roof when installing solar panels).

I don't know if it's accurate or not, though.

If so, it doesn't sound like a particularly fair comparison to me. Nuclear facilities shouldn't be compared to Joe Randoms installing panels on their summer cottages, they should be compared to (at least) megawatt scale industrial installations, where the occupational hazards in construction probably aren't any worse than in a nuclear power plant. (The panels are at ground level on solar farms..)

I agree. Also, Joe Random is taking on the task willingly. He has the ability to do it as safely or as dangerously as he wishes.

Whereas Jane Bystander (who developed cancer from a nearby radiation indecent) wasn't engaging in any particular activity that caused her death.
