    The text of the article is what I looked at, where they're a lot less definite.

    The 2202 deaths claim is from this article.

    If you don't trust that news site, directly in the article to the left of the info box:

    As of 27 February 2017, the Fukushima prefecture government counted 2,129 "disaster-related deaths" in the prefecture.

    That claim is supported by one government report, two scientific papers and one news site.

    And then you have to see what a "disaster-related death" is.

    Certainly you didn't have thousands of people dying at the site, which is what someone might understand if they had taken your numbers at face value.
