Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to estimate rainfall erosivity at the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission to assess soil erosion risk, using monthly rainfall data from 2003-2012.
- The annual rainfall erosivity indices ranged from 73.5 mm to 200.4 mm, with a mean of 129.8 mm, indicating a high erosion risk at the site.
- A strong positive correlation (r = 0.7) between annual rainfall and erosivity highlights the need for soil protection and management strategies to mitigate erosion.
The migration of radionuclides from a borehole repository located about 20 km from the Akwapim fault line which lies in an area of high seismicity was analyzed for some selected radionuclides. In the event of a seismic activity, fractures and faults could be rejuvenated or initiated resulting in container failure leading to the release of radionuclides. A numerical model was solved using a two-dimensional finite element code (Comsol Multiphysics) by taking into account the effect of heterogeneities.
