The world's only known natural nuclear reactor, which decommissioned itself over two billion years ago,

Guess this one qualifies for the geezer geeks... it is old technology!


Geezer Geek ping.

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.

Time to rewrite the books and search the stars again.
