Dams can cause rare but very severe disasters, while nuclear concentrates risk in the management of radioactivity and severe accidents. In terms of deaths per TWh, available comparative estimates place both hydroelectric and nuclear among the low-mortality sources, with nuclear generally very low. Saying that one technology is always 'more dangerous' than the other without specifying whether the reference is to individual risk, systemic risk, or historical casualties is misleading.
