Drinking alcohol and smoking have caused more deaths than the Chernobyl accident has.
Yeah maybe it has something to do with Chernobyl having been a single accident where people cleaned up the soil itself while alcohol and smoking are widely accepted practices.

True. And that's why we don't have to worry about nuclear power, but we should about alcohol and smoking.

Did you go on a field trip to Fukushima when the crisis happened or did you clench your butthole like everyone else?
Regardless, there's a lot to worry about nuclear power.
Like all the nuclear waste it generates with which we can't do anything, nor is there a way to safely dispose of it.

I think there might be some beneficial use of nuclear waste, but is just hasn't been discovered yet, like curing cancer or something like that

If that were the case, I reckon the produced waste of a single nuclear power plant would be enough to cure the whole planet. What do you do with the rest?
Hope it doesn't spill?
Build spacecrafts that run on nuclear waste and go conquer the universe.
If that were possible Nasa would be studying it.
They're planning to send people to Mars and having this extra fuel would be a great help. But instead, they're growing plants on space.

None. I was living in Shanghai, China then.

Tell me how many people will be killed by the Chernobyl accident in next 10000 years. I guess the number won't exceed the number which has been killed by smoking and alcohol in recent 100 years in Russia.

First of all, it's not even possible to quantify exactly the effects of Chernobyl. Cancers, such as thyroid, have indeed increased since the incident, and there has been a very profound effect on human health and beyond.
The fact that animals now 'roam freely' around the exclusion zone tells me absolutely nothing. Cancers have latency periods. Living organisms can't feel their health deteriorating from living in contaminated zones unless their exposure is so high, it causes acute sickness. It is a path that takes years for issues to manifest, but when they do, they do. And that's the issue with radioisotope contamination. Just because only 'some' people and animals were affected immediately, that doesn't mean that tens of thousands won't be affected years to decades after.
Nuclear power annoys me. Three absolute failures so far in what? 80 years? Not to mention the amount of misplaced material that wound up in a shipping yard or landfill and acutely poisoned people not even related to the field. We're not going to get it right. Scrap it.
