A UN panel says radiation exposure from the 2011 accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant is unlikely to raise cancer rates, confirming its previous findings on the matter.
The UN Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation on Tuesday issued a report ahead of Thursday's 10th anniversary of the massive earthquake and tsunami that led to the accident.
The report says that future health effects such as cancer directly related to radiation exposure are unlikely to be discernible.
The rise in thyroid cancer cases among exposed children is attributed to "the result of ultrasensitive screening procedures."
The report also says the number of cases of thyroid cancer in any age group and those of leukemia and cancer among workers at the damaged plant are unlikely to increase.
The committee says major findings and conclusions of its 2013 report have largely been confirmed with analysis of additional data.

Media outlets in Myanmar are continuing to report on nationwide protests against last month's military coup despite having their licenses revoked.
Myanmar's military announced on state-run television on Monday evening that it had stripped the licenses of five local media outlets.
Four of them were still providing news online as of Tuesday morning.
Mizzima posted a statement saying that as an independent media company, it will continue to fight against the military coup and for the restoration of democracy and human rights in Myanmar. Two other outlets posted similar messages.
The military has detained journalists covering the protests and warned the media not to use the word "coup."
It could therefore take steps to forcibly stop the broadcasts, such as by seizing the outlets' offices or detaining more journalists and other staff.

The prime ministers of Japan and India have agreed to work together to promote a free and open Indo-Pacific, while strengthening cooperation with the United States and Australia.
Japanese Prime Minister Suga Yoshihide and his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi spoke by telephone on Tuesday.
Suga expressed grave concern over China's new coast guard law that authorizes its ships to use weapons, as well as the human rights situation in Hong Kong and the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
Suga asked for Modi's understanding and support on the issue of Japanese nationals abducted by North Korea.
The two leaders also reaffirmed close cooperation in responding to the tense situation in Myanmar.
Suga is scheduled to take part in an online four-way meeting that will involve the leaders of the United States, Australia and India, to be held as early as Friday.
