 Professor Emeritus Dr. Sohei Kondo (Kondo 1993, Section 3.2) reports non-cancer effects that:

"...slight but insignifigant decreases in non-cancer deaths in bomb survivors exposed to 6 to 19, 20 to 49, 50 to 99, and 100 to 199 cGy occurred as early as 1950-1955; these seemingly beneficial effects of radiation were greater in men than in women (Table 1)."
