In May 1972 in a uranium enrichment plant in France, scientists examining ore from a mine in Gabon, West Africa, discovered that a natural nuclear reactor had spontaneously manifested in that region in the Earth’s primordial past, churning out approximately 100 Kw worth of energy continuously for a few hundred thousand years about 1.7 billion years ago.

It's not viewed as a serious continent. It's a place of strange, bizarre and illogical things, where people don't do what common sense demands. In 1972, workers in the Oklo mines of Gabon in West Africa found the radioactive remains of such a nuclear reactor. Uranium extracted from that mine was found to be abnormally short in U-235 isotopes, and upon examination, French scientists found that the uranium isotope levels had an uncanny resemblance to those in spent nuclear fuel from modern nuclear power plants. Imagine the surprise researchers had when they found a completely natural nuclear reactor site in Western Africa, made by Mother Nature herself.

What can we learn from that?

existing and future crude oil and natural gas development projects; potential delays In Africa, the company is engaged in upstream activities in Angola, the company developing a next-generation modular nuclear reactor.

This is what people have come to expect. It's not viewed as a serious continent. It's a place of strange, bizarre and illogical things, where people don't do what common sense demands.

This can be examined by analysis of 12 Sep 2010 No natural reactors exist today, as the relative density of fissile uranium has now decayed below that needed for a sustainable reaction. Pictured TIL there was a natural nuclear reactor in present-day Gabon that produced about 100kw of energy 2 billion years ago, running for thousands of years. This is 12 Jan 2021 Nigeria operates a research reactor and has signed deals with foreign suppliers such as Russia to build a proposed 2.4 GW power plant. Sudan Figure 1. The natural nuclear fission reactors of Oklo: (1) Nuclear reactor zones, ( 2) Sandstone, (3) Uranium ore layer, and (4) Granite. (Image courtesy of the US There are two types of nuclear reactors operating in the United States: the the remains of a natural nuclear reactor in a uranium mine in Oklo, Gabon, Africa.

As is the case with all natural uranium, the material under study contained three isotopes- three forms with various atomic masses: uranium 238, the most abundant variety; uranium 234, the rarest; and uranium 235, the isotope A fossil natural nuclear fission reactor is a uranium deposit where self-sustaining nuclear chain reactions have occurred. This can be examined by analysis of isotope ratios. The conditions under which a natural nuclear reactor could exist had been predicted in 1956 by Paul Kazuo Kuroda. The phenomenon was discovered in 1972 in Oklo, Gabon by French physicist Francis Perrin under conditions very similar to what was predicted. Oklo is the only known location for this in the world and consists of 2-Billion-Year-Old Nuclear Mega-Reactor Discovered in Africa There's so much here that raised my eyebrows - as it the the scientists involved, as the article notes - that one doesn't know where to begin.
