Long before humans discovered nuclear fission, Earth had already managed to create a working nuclear reactor on its own.
The evidence is preserved in ancient uranium deposits, where unusual isotope ratios and unmistakable fission products reveal that sustained nuclear reactions once occurred naturally billions of years ago.
Perfect for anyone fascinated by nuclear physics, deep time, geology, and the surprising ways nature can reproduce processes we usually think require advanced technology.
