Japanese atom bomb survivor study

["Shailendra Shukla" <shukla@nervm.nerdc.ufl.edu>]

June 27 issue of Chronicle of Higher Education reports a Japanese 
study of the bomb survivors that shows,  in addition to the 
cancer incidents, a higher rate of non-cancer effects 
(cardiovascular, early menopause in women, etc) in populations 
exposed to radiation compared to a control group. Curiosly, at least 
to me, it does not mention the life expectencies of either group.

I was wondering if any one in this group knows more about this study 
and would like to comment.
