The study will include 12 000 former and current employees who started work between 1976 and 2010 and is expected to be completed in April 2018.

Werner Duvenhage the managing director of Rossing Uranium Limited concluded the following: "The key outcome is expected to be a completed worker health case co -work study with the focus on radiation and effects."
