Last I looked, the USA hasn't been part of the UK in almost 250 years.
But also their data is nonsense - they've counted one turbine catching fire as two separate incidents, and conveniently ignore that it was during a named storm when the turbine was exposed to winds gusting >70 knots and thousands of people lost power due to downed power lines [0].
Even if you take their number as gospel, which seems unwise given they're counting this as an accident:
> "World's biggest wind farm makes bid to force land sales". Report that SSE Renewables, owners of the Berwick Bank wind farm project off the cost of East Lothian, Scotland, are seeking to force landowners to sell land to operators of the Berwick Bank project.
> Their application to Scottish Ministers to use a Compulsory Purchase Order for lands has brought a stream of objections from private land owners, Network Rail, and EDF who operate Torness nuclear plant. The application will now go to public enquiry.
The FT [1] claims 2202 deaths due to Fukushima:
