Retention of reactor products in the Oklo natural fission reactor
Conference

OSTI ID:7227488
Analysis of the fission product distribution in the Oklo reactor and its environs support the conclusions that a mineral such as uraninite can retain its integrity and composition to a remarkable degree while immersed in natural ground water. The transport of uranium out of the principal reactor zones averaged no more than 20 percent in the most affected regions with a fractional loss of uranium of 10/sup -10/ per year. (JSR)
