7. BOARD APPOINTMENTS
2008 – 2011 Dr Andreoli represented Necsa to the Board of Directors of Business
Venture Investments no. 33 (Pty.) Ltd., a junior exploration company now defunct
that conducted prospecting in the Kalahari.
8. PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
Dr. Andreoli has specialized in the integration of multidisciplinary fields, principally
petrology, mineralogy, geochemistry, structural geology and field mapping to
characterize the geosphere at nuclear sites and provide reliable inputs to Safety
Case models. The above investigations, mainly in the S Cape and in
Namaqualand, were conducted with the support of acknowledged specialists from
academic and related learned institutions from South Africa, Europe, and the USA.
In addition, the incumbent has expertise in the geology of certain Rare Earth
Elements (REE), thorium and uranium deposits in Namaqualand, having studied
over many years the Steenkampskraal Monazite Mine. Dr. Andreoli’s knowledge of
petrology and meteorite impacts enabled him to discover the world class
Morokweng impact crater, where he was involved in base and precious metals
mineral exploration.
Another field of Dr. Andreoli’s interest is the study of polycrystalline diamonds
working closely with fellow scientists from South African and a number of other
nations. This study, conducted using the most advanced analytical and physical
techniques, provided the trigger evidence for the discovery of the first hand

3. 3
specimen of an impact-shocked palaeo-comet. The samples that led to this
discovery (a world first) were preserved in an Italian science museum..
9. EDITORIAL WORK
On occasions I review manuscripts submitted to the Editors of the:
 South African Journal of Geology
 Journal of African Earth Sciences
 Lithos
 Lithosphere
10. ADVISORY FUNCTIONS
The incumbent has been asked in a number of occasions to act as reviewer of
funding project proposals (uranium geology; neotectonics) on behalf of
 the South African National Research Foundation (NRF)
 The Czech Science Foundation
 Invited member of Council of Geoscience Steering Committee on the
production of a GIS database and Map of Geohazards.
11. PARTICIPATION TO IAEA ACTIVITIES.
 Attended, as an expert from Necsa, to an IAEA Technical Meeting on
“World Thorium Resources”, 17 –21 October 2011, held in
Thiruvananthapuram, India.
 Attended, as an expert from Necsa, to an IAEA Technical Meeting of the
ASTOR Group, 3-5 June 2013, held in Pori, Finland, with visit to the
Onkalo Site (world’s first high level radioactive waste repository).
 Attended, as an expert from Necsa, to an IAEA Technical Meeting of the
ASTOR Group in 2014, held at Oskarshamn in Sweden, with visit to the
nearby CLAB Interim Storage facility.
 Attended, as expert from South Africa, to an IAEA Technical Meeting on
“World Thorium Resources”, held in Vienna from the 20 –24 July 2015.
12. PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES - AS PROJECT LEADER.
1. Geological characterization of the Vaalputs Radioactive Waste
Disposal Facility.
The geology of the Vaalputs site appears, at first sight, quite simple: that
comprises dunes of red, aeolian sands spread over a layer of Tertiary
clays overlying granites of great stability and antiquity. Despite its
appearance, there is now documented evidence that the geological
evolution of the Vaalputs property, from 1000 million years to less than 10
thousand years cannot be conclusively documented other than its general

4. 4
outlines. Key outstanding issues include a) the age, mineralogy and
structure of the sediments holding the radioactive waste drums; b) the
nature of some major climatic turnovers that deeply affected Vaalputs
between 70,000 and 60,000 years, and probably more recently too; c) the
origin of the sporadic releases of natural radionuclides from the granites
into the water table; and d) the development of the present day sand
surface with its palimpsest textures. These issues are likely to remain
unexplained until Necsa or the recently established Radioactive Waste
Disposal Agency will restart a research program under an experienced
staff scientist. It is expected that some papers, even as conference
abstracts, will be published on at least few of the issues mentioned above.
Principal Partners: Dr. Cathy Dowding-Clarke (University of
Stellenbosch); Prof. Jan Kramers (University of Johannesburg), Ms. Mary
Evans (University of the Witwatersrand).
2. Tectonic Stress and Neotectonics.
Aim of this collaboration is map out the present day strike slip stress field
in South Africa to assist present and future seismic hazard assessments
as they may be required by the proposed South African nuclear build
program, including the safe management of the radioactive waste. The
collaboration is also intended to promote safety in mining and large civil
engineering projects where knowledge of the regional, virgin stress fields
of bedrock may be desirable. The initiative feeds much needed regional
data to the World Stress Map (WSM), a global and open access
compilation of information on the present-day stress field of the Earth's
crust, also aimed to understand the stress sources. Palaeostress analysis
is a key component of this project, because: 1, it is now apparent that the
tectonic stress changes in orientation and strength over time and 2, there
is no explanation for the current stress orientation in western South Africa.
As such, the past may provide a hint to what is happening at the centre.
Principal Partners: Prof.s A. Bumby (University of Pretoria), R. Durrheim
(CSIR/University of the Witwatersrand), O. Heidbach (GFZ-Potsdam,
Germany).
13. ADDITIONAL ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES
The incumbent remains project leader and coordinator in a number of more
academic research collaborations, on a variety of subjects listed below. Each of
these collaborations has resulted in a number of papers published in refereed,
often high profile Journals (see list below). The main Consortia are the following:
3. Hypatia ‘Palaeo-Comet’ Collaboration
Aim of this project is to characterize the mineralogy and geochemistry
of the first known hand-specimen of what appears to be material from

5. 5
distant realms of the solar system, which apparently escaped the
thermal events that shaped the better known meteoritic record. Four
papers have been published or are in press, and more are being written
or planned, as the fragments available to Dr. Andreoli are not only
different from anything seen before, but are larger by several orders of
magnitude than the debris sampled by NASA with its 1999-20111, 12
years STARDUST mission to comet WILD-2.
Principal Partners. Profs. J. Kramers (Univ. Johannesburg), D. Block,
M. Bamford (University of the Witwatersrand), B Marty (Univ. Nancy)
and Dr. S. Piazolo (Macquarie Univ.).
4. Steenkampskraal Thorium Collaboration
There is a growing interest among a significant number of IAEA
member nations to the use of thorium as a nuclear fuel as an alternative
to uranium. The Steenkampskraal monazite mine in the Western Cape
was world-leading thorium producer in the 1950s and early 19760s, and
it may be reopened once again in the future as co-producer of thorium
and the Rare Earth Elements. Dr. Andreoli has studied this deposit for
more than 30 years, being an authority on the geology of this still
controversial type of mineralization. As a natural analogue of high level
waste, the deposit is also of great interest for those investigating the
ceramic-based immobilization of uranium and the transuranic elements.
Principal Partners: Dr. D. Harlov (GFZ – Helmholtz Centre Potsdam),
5. Morokweng Impact crater. First discovered by the project leader in
1991 while working for Necsa, this 145 Ma old impact crater, located
northwest of Vryburg (North West Province) may rank among the
largest structures of this kind in the terrestrial record. The consortium is
dedicated to address the a number of unresolved issues, including a,
final diameter and tectonic structure of the Impact crater; b, petrology
and chemical stratigraphy of the impact melt sheet; c, chronology,
petrogenesis of the spatially associated dykes; d, age and
characteristics of the mid crust exposed by the central uplift; and e,
economic mineral potential of the melt sheet (PGE, Ni).
Principal Partners: Prof. R Gibson (Wits Geoscience) and a M Sc
student; Dr S Misra (Univ KZN Geology Dept.) assisted by collaborators
at his institution, in India and the UK.
