6.2 COLLECTION OF SOIL SAMPLES

Director of Ceremony, I wish to confirm that this approach of collecting and
studying soil samples is what my research team has been using to study the
radioactivity in different towns and cities in Namibia for the past ten years.
The list of the cities and towns that we have studied includes the following
(in alphabetical order):

 Arandis
 Hentis Bay
 Karasburg
 Katima-Mulilo
 Luderitz
 Oshakati
 Rosh Pinah
 Rundu
 Swakopmund
 Tsumeb
 Usakos
 Walvis Bay
 Windhoek
 Wlotzkasbaken (a holiday settlement).

Most of these cities and towns can be seen on the following maps of
Namibia (Figures 6(a) and 6(b)). In the following discussions, I will at times
refer to towns and cities as simply towns.
