Number of deaths isn't the only metric of severity. For example, there is also the number of people who lost their homes (evacuated and not able to return for many years), which for Fukashima was apparently 150,000. [1]

Since nuclear power plants are so expensive to build, even just the loss of plant itself is in the billions.
