Soil samples from three major towns and a holiday settlement in uranium-rich western Namibia have been analysed using a HPGe detector for radioactivity due to 238U, 232Th and 40K. The average activity concentrations of the radionuclides in the towns and settlement vary from a low of 18.6 ± 4.6 to a high of 69.6 ± 26.3 Bq kg−1 for 238U, 23.8 ± 8.4 to 91.1 ± 41.0 Bq kg−1 for 232Th and 460.3 ± 76....
