Hmmmn.
I thought the original "natural" fission reactor happened in some "very highly concentrated" natural U238/235 rock in the Belgium Congo a little before WWII.

This is outstanding. Not only have they discovered a natural process to learn from, this also bolsters the hypothosis that nuclear power is possibly a galactic standard.
Controllable, renewable <--- we knew,
and now, at times, natural.
