Funny! The only attributed death to the incident at TMI was a heart attack that resulted from the panic created by the media. Chernobyl; however, was a different condition that demonstrates the effectiveness of containment domes and the different power reactor technologies used in the west. I might also point out that power generation using coal for fuel has released orders of magnitude more radioactive contamination to the atmosphere than all of the PWR's and BWR's used worldwide.
Personally, I think if you do some reasoned investigation you'll find that nuclear power generation has proven to be the safest most environmentally benign present technology used to generate electricity.
As for researching leaks of radioactive materials to the public, I'd look at nuclear medicine---the material controls in nuclear medicine are much looser than any nuclear power station.
