Uranium is natural. There are even natural fission reactors.

Wouldn't mind a glowing cat. Stops me from tripping over her when I have to run to the toilet in the dead of night..

Where are these natural fission reactors

[–] MDCCCLV@lemmy.ca 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

There's a guy on Reddit in the space subreddits that is sure there is a natural reactor on Mars now, based on a paper by a kooky scientist.

What data is this based on

[–] Lyrl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

In the past. Earth no longer has enough of the applicable isotope for them to happen. But it's cool we found evidence at least one existed! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_nuclear_fission_reactor

That is so very cool, sad they can't exist anymore
