So the heat from the naturally occurring plant caused the plants to die and the sand to take its place?

“Oklo is the only known location for this in the world and consists of sixteen sites at which self-sustaining nuclear fission reactions took place approximately 2 billion years ago, and ran for a few hundred thousand years, averaging 100 kW of energy output during that time.”

Clearly did not power toasters... Wonder what the energy output did.

Wonder what the energy output did. It generated waste heat.

100 kW is not that much.. 134 HP, about like a small car engine’s shaft power output. Easy to dissipate into the earth.
