Yet we have had no nuclear weapon accidents which have lead to large loss of life. Civilian nuclear is a different story, in one case.

Nuclear weapons have, whether liked or not, kept the world from major existential conflicts since 1945. So the risk is certainly worth the cost at this point.

Casualties of the Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815), 371,000 killed in action

World War I, military were 16 million military deaths

WWII, 22,576,700 to 24,491,800 military casualities.
