NATURAL REPOSITORIES

PROVIDE EVIDENCE OF

LONG TERM VIABILITY

  • SEVERAL LOCATIONS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED WHERE NATURALLY OCCURING RADIOISOTOPES HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AND CRITICALLY ANALYSED
  • THESE NATURAL REPOSITORIES HAVE SHOWN NO NEGATIVE ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES OVER GEOLOGIC TIME

OKLO – GABON, WEST AFRICA

There is strong geochemical evidence that the Oklo uranium deposit behaved as a natural nuclear fission reactor in Precambrian times: Geologists found that it had been in a reactor before — two billion years ago.

The radioactive elements did not migrate out of the local area.
