Researchers: A-bomb radiation does not increase cancer mortality risk in 'hibakusha' children

The RERF (Radiation Effects Research Foundation) reports there has been no increase in cancer incidence or deaths in the children of atomic bomb survivors (Hibakusha). http://ajw.asahi.com/article/behind_news/social_affairs/AJ201510060027

PS - It should be noted that several years ago the RERF concluded that the children of A-bomb survivors showed no increased mutations, so this cancer finding should close the book on the risk on passing radiation-induced damages to future generations. It should, but our opponents will not let it die.
