The nuclear death rate is ~1/375 that of coal. This is because emissions are a major contributor to the death rate for coal.
Looking it up, the first analysis I find says that uranium ore is likely more energy dense than coal[1] so it shouldn't be the case that it is a lot more dangerous than coal mining.
