I did here somewhere that the rate of certain cancers among survivors of Hiroshima and/or Nagasaki was remarkably low. I think the belief was that the dose of radiation which had been received had acted as a preventative chemotherapy treatment.

I have no idea if there's any validity to that, and no, I wouldn't want to sign up for the treatment.

Studies also looked for radiation effects in following generations. Found none, to the stated level of confidence. There was a slightly higher rate of leukemia, but when you look at many different factors, you would expect some to be higher than average.

Yes, the researcher was suprised, but unlike some, was honest.
