Abstract
In 1976 Rio Tinto Zinc began production in the Rössing uranium mine of Namibia. In 1992 the critical “Past Exposure” report was published including an analysis of radiation and other hazards at Rössing. This report caused a major debate. A mission from the International Atomic Energy Agency visited Namibia and Rössing in 1992. The IAEA-report was published in May 1993. In this article Greg Dropkin of the Namibia Support Committee reviews the IAEA-report.
