From Wikipedia

Since the 1990s—when the declassification of selected liquidator records prompted some direct participants to speak publicly—some with direct involvement in the liquidators' cleanup efforts have asserted that several thousand liquidators died as a result of the cleanup.[23] Other organizations claim that total liquidator deaths as a result of the cleanup operation may number at least 6,000.

That's a case specific to Chernobyl and Soviet Russia in general. We know they falsified a lot of data in many aspects, but that's not "systemically suppressed" and definitely not something to generalise to every single nuclear power plant currently running in the world.
