Interesting, but way too preliminary for such a headline.

I understood that allot of the data was from the WW!! bombings.
"Data compiled from the long-term study of survivors of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings are widely used by regulatory bodies and researchers across the world to assess the long-term impacts of radiation exposure on the human body."

The article also points out "more research is needed".
This article is just one data point, for an accurate view of the situation you would need to have more data.
i.e. Long term case studies of thousands of survivors from different blasts.
