Cancer from radiation

That after the blast in Doom Town, Indy will likely end up having cancer?

Ground blasts like the Doom Town test bomb deliver less radiation than air blasts, since much of the radiatian is consumed by the explosion. Air blasts are intended to deliver maximum fallout over cities, in order to kill the greatest numbers over time.

Indy was sealed inside the fridge and blasted well clear - far enough to witness the mushroom cloud from a distance. Given his supernatural level of luck, it's probably safe to say he didn't get cancer.

The fact the fridge was lead lined and he was in decontamination quickly means the odds of him getting cancer is low. As Montana said, its probably also down to his supernatural level of luck
