Natural Nuclear Reactors

Posted by michael on from the toasty dept.

bungeejumper writes "The Astronomy Picture of the day has a picture of a natural nuclear reactor discovered in an uranium ore mine in Africa. This link has much more detailed information on this subject. Does this tie in with this wacky story about a HUGE PLUTONIUM FAST BREEDER REACTOR at the centre of the earth ?"

    Does this mean that slashdot has run out of interesting stories so we have to read this kind of stuff? This kind of thing has been known to exist for ages and the idea of a gigantuesque reactor at the core of the earth has been floating around for decennia.

    You didn't read the article. Or you would see that they also mention Jupitor's reactor, and the fact that it radiates 2x the radiation it recieves from the sun.
