I don't think you can really compare the poisonous emissions of diesel exhaust leaked materials from a reactor.

Sure you can, you just need to agree on the comparison criteria, like, for example, the total number of illnesses/death from normal (and predicted abnormal) operation of the device. Burning fossil fuels still leads to deaths even if they are spread over a large area and/or time.
